Scattering of light by light is a fundamental process arising at the quantum level through vacuum fluctuations. This book will explain how this quantum process can entirely be described in terms classical quantities. This description is derived from general principles, such as causality, unitarity, Lorentz, and gauge symmetries.

Lissajous Figures are produced by combining two oscillations at right angles to each other. The figures, drawn by mechanical devices called Harmonographs, have scientific uses, but are also enjoyed for their own beauty. This book is intended for people who enjoy physics or art or both.

Offers an insight into the physics of nuclear medicine by explaining the principles of radioactivity, how radionuclides are produced and administered as radiopharmaceuticals to the body and how radiation can be detected and used to produce images for diagnosis.

Offers an introduction to surface science. Surfaces are the external border of materials to the external world. By exploring surfaces one can investigate the material. In the last few decades exciting surface properties have been explored in nanomaterials, low-dimensional structures in electronic and photonic devices and other applications.

Takes the enterprising researcher, student, or hobbyist through explorations in a variety of computing exercises with the physical sciences. The book has tutorials and exercises for a wide range of scientific computing problems.
