Taschenbuch der Physik

The long-successful physics paperback is a compact reference work. It provides information on the physical subfields of mechanics, thermodynamics, acoustics, optics, electricity, relativistic mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics, as well as error analysis in physical measurements.

Constantly updated, improved, and expanded, it has become the standard work for students of all disciplines at universities and colleges, as well as for pupils, teachers, and lecturers. It aids in studying and reviewing material in self-study and in preparing for exams and tests. Practitioners also use it in their profession as a reference work to refresh their acquired knowledge.

This indispensable reference work for study and practice:

• contains all important physical formulas and laws and explains their application,
• provides quick information on units of measurement, natural constants, and material values, as well as their limits of validity,
• includes more than 500 explanatory illustrations and a comprehensive table section,
• is suitable for users with lower mathematical knowledge.

Its role as a bridge between a pure formula collection and a textbook is primarily fulfilled through its didactic design and easily understandable texts and illustrations.

New in the 22nd edition: Considers the new definition of the seven base units based on natural constants.
