In the 1950s, the distinguished theoretical physicist Wolfgang Pauli delivered a landmark series of lectures at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of classical and modern physics was painstakingly recorded not only by his students but also by a number of collaborators whose carefully edited transcriptions resulted in a remarkable six-volume work:
Volume 1: Electrodynamics presents a brief survey of the historical development and current problems of electrodynamics, followed by sections on electrostatics and magnetostatics, steady-state currents, quasi-static fields, and rapidly varying fields.
Volume 2: Optics and the Theory of Electrons discusses geometrical optics, the theory of interference and diffraction, Maxwell's Theory, crystal optics, and molecular optics.
Volume 3: Thermodynamics and the Kinetic Theory of Gases examines basic concepts and the First Law, the Second Law, equilibria, Nerst's Heat Theorem, and the kinetic theory of gases.
Volume 4: Statistical Mechanics represents a concise course on the subject, centering on the historic development of the basic ideals and the logical structure of the theory, with particular emphasis on Brownian motion and quantum statistics.
Volume 5: Wave Mechanics focuses on wave functions of force-free particles, description of a particle in a box and in free space, particle in a field of force, eigenvalue problems, collision processes, and other topics.
Volume 6: Selected Topics in Field Quantization considers such subjects as quantization of the electron-positron field, response to an external field, quantum electrodynamics, interacting fields, and the S-matrix.
Each volume features an index and a wealth of helpful figures and can be consulted independently. |
