Encyclopedia of applied physics

Approaching physics from the standpoint of technical and industrial applications, this work covers applied physics. Each article contains: contents, glossary of unfamiliar terms, reference list, guide to further reading, cross-references and uniform terms, abbreviations, symbols and units.An annual update to the "Encyclopedia of Applied Physics", this volume presents some new keywords as well as updates to existing ones.Intended for physicists, computer scientists, engineers, research institutes and universities, this cumulative index complements all 23 volumes of the "Encyclopedia of Applied Physics", a reference work which examines the field of physics through its technical and industrial applications.The 23-volume Encyclopedia of Applied Physics - EAP - is a monumental first in scope, depth, and usability. It demonstrates the synergy between physics and technological applications. Information is presented according to the following subject areas: General Aspects; Mathematical and Information Techniques Measurement Sciences, General Devices and/or Methods Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics Atomic and Molecular Physics Electricity and Magnetism Optics (classical and quantum) Acoustics Thermodynamics and Properties of Gases Fluids and Plasma Physics Condensed Matter: Structure and Mechanical Properties; Thermal, Acoustic, and Quantum Properties; Electronic Properties; Magnetic Properties; Dielectrical and Optical Properties; Surfaces and Interfaces Materials Science Physical Chemistry Energy Research and Environmental Physics Biophysics and Medical Physics Geophysics, Meteorology, Space Physics and Aeronautics EAP consists of 20 hardcover volumes arranged alphabetically. A cumulative subject index will be published after every three volumes, with a full index accompanying the complete work.
