Encyclopedia of Applied Physics: Scientific Computing by Numerical Methods to Separation Processes

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.

This 23 volume encyclopedia unites the concept of modern physics with their numerous technical applications. It covers modern technologies where most of the work is done by engineers, but where physics research is a necessary part of further developments. In addition, it discusses laboratory-oriented research of crucial importance in the scientific community and of great potential for future industrial applications.
