Synopsis

Nkoma presents a textbook introducing students to the basic concepts that serve as the foundation for engineering and the physical sciences. Mathematics is the language of physics and engineering, he says, and he uses it freely. He includes a large number of exercises at the end of each chapter, so students can get use to the process of problem solving. The topics include Maxwell's equations, the wave function and solutions of the Schrödinger equation in different systems, the structure of the atom, semiconductor devices, and statistical mechanics distribution functions.
