Physics: Handbooks, Dictionaries, etc

Includes a concise compilation of the most frequently used physics data and formulae with their derivations. New chapters have been added on atmospheric physics, electricity and magnetism, elementary particle physics, fluid dynamics, geophysics, nonlinear physics, particle accelerators, polymer physics, and quantum theory. There is a new last chapter on practical laboratory data.

The ultimate book of facts about chemistry and physics. Covers virtually every element, every physical formula, and every mathematical table imaginable.

Gives an overview of the most important thermodynamic properties (as well as the related transport properties) for a range of pure substances and mixtures.

Volumes I, II, & IV

An invaluable compendium of relationships and indexes from every area of physics.
The reference work is enhanced through additional features in each section that include sample examples, applications of the physics described, problem-solving hints, and measurement techniques pertaining to the specific phenomena in the section.

A compact, portable reference containing more than 2,000 of the most useful formulas and equations found in undergraduate physics courses, covering mathematics, dynamics and mechanics, quantum physics, thermodynamics, solid state physics, electromagnetism, optics and astrophysics.

Covers the key equations and fundamental principles that are taught in graduate programs. Offers a succinct yet systematic treatment of all areas of physics, including mathematical physics, solid state physics, particle physics, statistical mechanics, and optics. Provides both review material for students preparing for PhD qualifying examinations and a quick reference for physicists who need to brush up on basic topics or delve into areas outside their expertise.
