Understanding Quantum Science A Concise Primer for Students of Chemistry Biochemistry and Physics

Understanding Quantum Science A Concise Primer for Students of Chemistry Biochemistry and Physics

Students are naturally drawn to quantum science by the intriguing behaviors of small particles. However they can also be intimidated by the lengthy and complicated treatment found in the classroom. Understanding Quantum Science: A Concise Primer for Students of Chemistry Biochemistry and Physics is a highly accessible book that offers students an opportunity to grasp the most fascinating of quantum topics without the intimidation. To be sure math is necessary but it is introduced as needed and kept concise. The emphasis is on the science: a certain differential equation can be solved and when it is we find the energies that hydrogen atom electrons are allowed to have. Each concept is developed in this manner keeping focus on how and why it arises and on the intriguing consequences. This book provides a brief tour of some of the wonders of quantum science. But it is more than that it is designed to be the most concise tour possible that truly explains how these wonders arise so that you can develop a working understanding of quantum concepts. If your goal is loftier and you wish to become a quantum specialist the conceptual groundwork presented here along with rationalization of the mathematics required will position you well for higher level classes. | Understanding Quantum Science A Concise Primer for Students of Chemistry Biochemistry and Physics

An Introduction to Fourier Analysis

An Introduction to Fourier Analysis

This book helps students explore Fourier analysis and its related topics helping them appreciate why it pervades many fields of mathematics science and engineering. This introductory textbook was written with mathematics science and engineering students with a background in calculus and basic linear algebra in mind. It can be used as a textbook for undergraduate courses in Fourier analysis or applied mathematics which cover Fourier series orthogonal functions Fourier and Laplace transforms and an introduction to complex variables. These topics are tied together by the application of the spectral analysis of analog and discrete signals and provide an introduction to the discrete Fourier transform.

Electronics for Scientists

Electronics for Scientists

Electronics for Scientists provides a practical and concise introduction to electrical circuits signals and instrumentation for undergraduate students in the physical sciences. No previous familiarity with electronics is required and concepts are grounded in the relevant physics. The book aims to give students the electronics background needed to be successful in experimental science. The book begins with the fundamentals of DC circuits. This is followed by AC circuits and their analysis using the concept of impedance. The transfer function is introduced and used to analyze different types of filter circuits. The conversion between time-domain and frequency-domain signal representations is reviewed. Transmission lines are introduced and used to motivate the different approach to designing microwave-frequency circuits as compared to lower-frequency circuits. The physics of semiconductors is reviewed and used to understand the behavior of diodes and transistors and a number of diode and transistor circuits are analyzed. The operational amplifier (op-amp) is introduced and several op-amp circuits are analyzed. Techniques for quantifying noise in electrical measurements are described and common sources of noise are discussed. The last major topic is digital circuits which include analog-to-digital conversion logic gates and digital memory circuits. The book concludes with a brief introduction to quantum computing. Designed for a one-semester course this book brings together a range of topics relevant to experimental science that are not commonly found in a single text. Worked examples are provided throughout the book and each chapter concludes with a set of problems to reinforce the material covered. The subject of electronics is indispensable to a wide array of scientific and technical fields and this book seeks to provide an approachable point of access to this rich and important subject.
