The Cambridge Handbook of Physics Formulas is a quick-reference aid for students and pro-fessionals in the physical sciences and engineering. It contains more than 2 000 of the mostuseful formulas and equations found in undergraduate physics courses, covering mathematics,dynamics and mechanics, quantum physics, thermodynamics, solid state physics, electromag-netism, optics, and astrophysics. An exhaustive index allows the required formulas to belocated swiftly and simply, and the unique tabular format crisply identifies all the variablesinvolved.
