EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Product Description This volume is a reference source of fundamental formulae in physics and astrophysics. In contrast to most of the usual compendia it carefully explains the physical assumptions entering the formulae. All the important results of physical theories are covered: electrodynamics, hydrodynamics, general relativity, atomic and nuclear physics, and so on. Over 2100 formulae are included, and the original papers for the formulae are cited together with papers on modern applications in a bibliography of over 1900 entries. For this new edition, a chapter on space, time, matter and cosmology has been included and the other chapters have been carefully revised.
CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 1 review)
A very-very useful book even for researchers 5 Stars February 04, 2000 Well, if you'd like to have a lot of useful mathemathical formulae on hand when making your astrophysical computations (at any topics as I can admit) then this is the very book you need. My only problem with it is that it doesn't cover all the formulae I needed for my computations but maybe I'm not fair wishing the impossible... Anyway it spared me a really big amount of time when on my desk.
