Items related to Understanding the Properties of Matter
This introduction to the essential physics of phases of matter should be a useful textbook for introductory matter, materials and solid-state physics courses at degree level. Its principal feature is its data-driven tutorial style, which enables students to familiarize themselves with practical observations on matter before tackling the theoretical rigours of the subject. The book begins from first principles, reminding students of their existing knowledge of theoretical physics in the context of understanding, observing and measuring matter. It then presents students with data of the properties of matter, and through exercises and examples answers the questions: what is interesting and what is there to explain about this? Gases, solids, liquids and background theory, then expanding through examining experimental data eg. density, thermal expansion, etc.. Mathematical derivations are carried out at a pace appropriate to those with limited mathematical confidence and ability, with only small steps between adjacent equations.
