Principles of Quantum Mechanics
(Springer, 1994)Over the decade and a half since I wrote the first edition, nothing has altered my belief in the soundness of the overall approach taken here. This is based on the response of teachers, students, and my own occasional ... -
Probability
(Springer, 1993)This is a text for a one-quarter or one-semester course in probability, aimed at students who have done a year of calculus. The book is organized so a student can learn the fundamental ideas of probability from the first ... -
Probability and Statistics for Computer Science
(Springer, 2018)An understanding of probability and statistics is an essential tool for a modern computer scientist. If your tastes run to theory, then you need to know a lot of probability (e.g., to understand randomized algorithms, to ... -
Probability Theory
(Springer, 2013)It is customary to set the origins of Probability Theory at the 17th century and relate them to combinatorial problems of games of chance. The latter can hardly be considered a serious occupation. However, it is games ... -
Probability Theory
(Springer, 2014)This book is based on two four-hour courses on advanced probability theory that I have held in recent years at the universities of Cologne and Mainz. It is implicitly assumed that the reader has a certain familiarity ... -
Problems in Classical Electromagnetism
(Springer, 2017)This book comprises 157 problems in classical electromagnetism, originating from the second-year course given by the authors to the undergraduate students of physics at the University of Pisa in the years from 2002 to ... -
Proofs from THE BOOK
(Springer, 2018)Paul Erd˝os liked to talk about The Book, in which God maintains the perfect proofs for mathematical theorems, following the dictum of G. H. Hardy that there is no permanent place for ugly mathematics. Erd˝os also said ... -
A Pythagorean Introduction to Number Theory
(Springer, 2018)This book came out of an attempt to explain to a class of motivated students at the University of Illinois at Chicago what sorts of problems I thought about in my research. In the course, we had just talked about the ... -
Python For ArcGIS
(Springer, 2015)Imagine... You’ve just begun a new job as a GIS specialist for the National Park Service. Your supervisor has asked you to analyze some wildlife data. She gives you a specifi c example to start with: One data table (Bird ... -
Python Programming Fundamentals
(Springer, 2014)Computer Science is a creative, challenging, and rewarding discipline. Computer programmers, sometimes called software engineers, solve problems involving data: computing, moving, and handling large quantities of data ... -
The Python Workbook
(Springer, 2014)I believe that computer programming is a skill that is best learned through hands-on experience. While it is valuable for you to read about programming in textbooks and watch teachers create programs at the front of ... -
Quantum Mechanics
(Springer, 2012)The preparation of another edition of a text on quantum mechanics is always a challenge. On the one hand, one may decide to cover some previously omitted topics, after gauging again their relevance. On the other hand, ... -
Quantum Mechanics
(Springer, 2000)This book is an outgrowth of lectures given at the University of Michigan at various times from 1966-1996 in a first-year graduate course on quantum mechanics. It is meant to be at a fairly high level. On the one hand, ... -
Quantum Mechanics for Pedestrians 1
(Springer, 2014)The first edition of ‘Physics for Pedestrians’ was very well received. Repeatedly, I was asked to extend the considerations to relativistic phenomena. This has now been done in this second edition. Volume 1 contains ... -
Quantum Mechanics for Pedestrians 2
(Springer, 2018)In this second edition of Volume 2, a short introduction to the basics of quantum field theory has been added. The material is placed in the Appendix. It is not a comprehensive and complete presentation of the topic, ... -
Quantum Theory for Mathematicians
(Springer, 2013)Ideas from quantum physics play important roles in many parts of modern mathematics. Many parts of representation theory, for example, are motivated by quantum mechanics, including the Wigner–Mackey theory of ... -
Reading, Writing, and Proving
(Springer, 2011)You are probably about to teach or take a “first course in proof techniques,” or maybe you just want to learn more about mathematics. No matter what the reason, a student who wishes to learn the material in this book ... -
Real Analysis
(Springer, 2015)Analysis forms an essential basis of mathematics as a whole, as well as of the natural sciences, and more and more of the social sciences too. The theory of analysis (differentiation and integration) was created—after ... -
Recommender Systems
(Springer, 2016)“Nature shows us only the tail of the lion. But I do not doubt that the lion belongs to it even though he cannot at once reveal himself because of his enormous size.”– Albert Einstein The topic of recommender systems ... -
Regression Modeling Strategies
(Springer, 2015)There are many books that are excellent sources of knowledge about individual statistical tools (survival models, general linear models, etc.), but the art of data analysis is about choosing and using multiple tools. In ...
