Introduction to Stars and PlanetsAn activities-based exploration

Alan Hirshfeld University of Massachusetts, USA

About the bookThe book features a three-part collection of solar, stellar, and planetary-themed activities, each based on historical observations or astrophysical theory, which altogether tackle the core question: How do astronomers know what they know about the stars and planets? Taken in sequence, and supported by ample explanatory text, these activities illustrate to students the epic advancement of stellar and planetary astronomy over the past century, up to the present day.

The book’s pedagogical approach is based on a research-supported, active-learning model of instruction. Each chapter consists of stepwise elements toward mastery of the given topic, building students’ cognitive and mathematical skills along the way. The activities derive from real-world methods of stellar and planetary astronomy, simplified for student understanding.

About the authorAlan Hirshfeld, Professor of Physics at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, is Chair of the American Astronomical Society’s Historical Astronomy Division and a longtime Associate of the Harvard College Observatory. He has authored five previous books, is a regular book reviewer for the Wall Street Journal and writes and lectures frequently on science history and discovery.

Classical MechanicsA professor–student collaboration

Mario Campanelli, Antonio d’Alfonso del Sordo, Camilla Tacconis, Enrico Caprioglio, Lodovico Scarpa, Sheila María Pérez García and Muhammad Tayyab ShabbirUniversity College London, UK

iopscience.org/book/978-0-7503-2690-2

About the bookClassical Mechanics: A professor–student collaboration is a textbook tailored for undergraduate physics students embarking on a first-year module in Newtonian mechanics. This book was written as a unique collaboration between Mario Campanelli and students that attended his course in classical mechanics at University College London. Taking his lecture notes as a starting point, and reflecting on their own experiences studying the material, the students worked together with Campanelli to produce a comprehensive course text that covers a familiar topic from a new perspective.

All the fundamental topics are included, starting with an overview of the core mathematics and then moving on to statics, kinematics, dynamics and non-inertial frames, as well as fluid mechanics, which is often overlooked in standard university courses. Clear explanations and step-by-step examples are provided throughout to break down complicated ideas that can be taken for granted in other standard texts, giving students the expertise to confidently tackle their university tests and fully grasp important concepts that underpin all physics and engineering courses.

About the authorMario Campanelli is an experimental particle physicist with decades of experience on the world’s highest energy colliders. In 2007 he joined the faculty of University College London to work on the ATLAS experiment at CERN, where he mainly studies the properties of strong interactions. In 2018 he was nominated professor at UCL. He has 25 years of experience in teaching graduate- and undergraduate-level courses.

Practical Analog, Digital, and Embedded Electronics for ScientistsBrett D DePaola Kansas State University, USA

About the bookThis book is different to other electronics texts available. First, it is short. Created for a one-semester course taken by physics students, both undergraduate and graduate it includes only the essentials and covers those topics only as deeply as needed in order to understand the material in the integrated laboratory exercises. Unlike many electronics texts for physics students, this one does not delve into the physics of devices. Instead, these are largely treated as black boxes having certain properties that are important to know for designing circuits. The physics comes when the students use their acquired electronics instrumentation knowledge to construct apparatus to make measurements. Since the detailed physics has been left out, this book should be equally useful for students in any of the physical or life sciences. This is the first textbook aimed at the non-electrical engineering student, that has both the generality on analog and digital electronics circuits, coupled to the very timely technology of embedded electronics. The book also features homework exercises, parts list and a suite of useful appendices.

About the authorBrett DePaola is a Professor of Physics at Kansas State University. He received his BS and MS in Physics from Miami University, and his PhD in Physics from The University of Texas at Dallas. Professor DePaola’s research in atomic, molecular, and optical physics covers a wide range of topics, from ion-atom collisions to coherent control using ultra-short laser pulses. The over-arching theme is the understanding of basic physical processes at the atomic level. His most recent research explores how modulating the spectral phase of ultra-short laser pulses affects coherent excitation in atoms and simple molecules. Professor DePaola has made seminal contributions to the measurement technique known as MOTRIMS, in which ultra-cold technologies are combined with charged particle technologies to create a powerful diagnostic of ion-atom and photon-atom dynamics. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and has won numerous teaching awards and given invited lectures world-wide.
