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 ... -
Representation Theory
(Springer, 1991)The primary goal of these lectures is to introduce a beginner to the finitedimensional representations of Lie groups and Lie algebras. Since this goal is shared by quite a few other books, we should explain in this Preface ... -
Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Microanalysis
(Springer, 2018)This is not your father’s, your mother’s, or your grandparent’s Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Microanalysis (SEMXM). But that is not to say that there is no continuity or to deny a family resemblance. SEMXM4 ... -
The Sea Floor
(Springer, 2017)Man’s understanding of how this planet is put together and how it evolved has changed radically during the last 30 years. This great revolution in geology – now usually subsumed under the concept of Plate Tectonics – ... -
Solid-State Physics

SPSS for Starters and 2nd Levelers
(Springer, 2016)This small book addresses different kinds of data files, as commonly encountered in clinical research and their data analysis on SPSS software. Some 15 years ago serious statistical analyses were conducted by specialist ... -
Stability and Control of Linear Systems
(Springer, 2019)This book is the natural outcome of a course I taught for many years at the Technical University of Torino, first for students enrolled in the aerospace engineering curriculum, and later for students enrolled in the ... -
Statistical Analysis and Data Display
(Springer, 2015)Students seeking master’s degrees in applied statistics in the late 1960s and 1970s typically took a year-long sequence in statistical methods. Popular choices of the course textbook in that period prior to the availability ... -
Statistical Analysis of Clinical Data on a Pocket Calculator
(Springer, 2011)The time that statistical analyses, including analysis of variance and regression analyses, were analyzed by statistical laboratory workers, has gone for good, thanks to the availability of user-friendly statistical ... -
Statistical Learning from a Regression Perspective
(Springer, 2017)Over the past 8 years, the topics associated with statistical learning have been expanded and consolidated. They have been expanded because new problems have been tackled, new tools have been developed, and older tools ... -
Statistical Mechanics for Engineers
(Springer, 2015)The purpose of writing this book is to explain basic concepts of equilibrium statistical mechanics to the first year graduate students in engineering departments. Why should an engineer care about statistical ... -
Statistics and Analysis of Scientific Data
(Springer, 2017)Across all sciences, a quantitative analysis of data is necessary to assess the significance of experiments, observations, and calculations. This book was written over a period of 10 years, as I developed an introductory ... -
Statistics and Data Analysis for Financial Engineering with R examples
(Springer, 2015)The first edition of this book has received a very warm reception. A number of instructors have adopted this work as a textbook in their courses. Moreover, both novices and seasoned professionals have been using the book ...
