Opis

This text takes an unusual approach to the teaching of undergraduate level matter, materials and solid-state physics. The book adopts a here is some theory; this is what happens in the real world; lets develop a theory and see how it agrees with the experimental data approach. This second edition takes the approach even further with additional web-based material including datasets to download, computer programs to simulate experiments and self assessment questions for each chapter, all of which make the book both student and teacher friendly.
