Graduate Texts in Physics
Graduate Texts in Physics publishes core learning/teaching material for graduate- and
advanced-level undergraduate courses on topics of current and emerging fields within
physics, both pure and applied. These textbooks serve students at the MS- or PhD-level
and their instructors prehensive sources of principles, definitions, derivations, ex-
periments and applications (as relevant) for their mastery and teaching, respectively. In-
ternational in scope and relevance, the textbooks correspond to course syllabi sufficiently
to serve as required reading. Their didactic style, comprehensiveness and coverage of
fundamental material also make them suitable as introductions or references for scien-
tists entering, or requiring timely knowledge of, a research field.
