Exam Board: Edexcel Level: A level Subject: Physics First teaching: September 2015 First exams: June 2017 An ActiveBook is included with every Student Book, giving your students easy online access to the content in the Student Book. They can make it their own with notes, highlights and links to their wider reading. Perfect for supporting work and revision activities. Student Book 1 supports a standalone AS course and provides the first year of a two-year A level course; Student Books 1 and 2 together support the full A level course. A cumulative approach to learning constantly builds on what has previously been taught. The chapter openers highlight prior learning requirements and link to future learning. The required maths skills are highlighted at the start of each chapter providing opportunities for students to check understanding and remedy gaps. Bigger spreads require students to read real-life material that's relevant to the course and use knowledge in new contexts. Accompanying questions require students to analyse how scientists write, think critically and consider issues. Preparing for your exams sections highlight the key differences between preparing for an AS and full A level exam. Practice question spreads provide opportunities for students to regularly check their understanding using questions written in the style of the new exams from day one.

This second book on Unity Root Matrix Theory extends its original three-dimensional formulation, as given in the first book, to an arbitrary number of higher dimensions. Unity Root Matrix Theory is formulated with strong adherence to concepts in mathematical physics and it is thought it may provide a discrete formulation of physical phenomena at the Planck level and upward. Consequently, it is essential that the theory incorporates the geometric dimensionality present in established physical theories. In particular, it must naturally embody the four-dimensional spacetime of Special Relativity, the five dimensions of Kaluza-Klein theory, and the eleven or more dimensions of Grand Unified Theories such as String Theory. Not only has an n-dimensional extension of Unity Root Matrix Theory successfully been achieved, whilst retaining all the three-dimensional mathematical and physical properties detailed in the first book, but a complete n-dimensional solution has been obtained which exhibits the geometric property of compactification, or dimensional reduction. This solution shows that dimensional shrinkage of higher dimensions may occur over long evolutionary timescales. The emergence of compactification and other physical phenomena gives further confidence that n-dimensional Unity Root Matrix Theory may, indeed, offer a discrete formulation of Physics starting at its most elemental level.

This Oxford Handbook provides an overview of many of the topics that currently engage philosophers of physics. It surveys new issues and the problems that have become a focus of attention in recent years. It also provides up-to-date discussions of the still very important problems that dominated the field in the past. In the late 20th Century, the philosophy of physics was largely focused on orthodox Quantum Mechanics and Relativity Theory. The measurement problem, the question of the possibility of hidden variables, and the nature of quantum locality dominated the literature on the quantum mechanics, whereas questions about relationalism vs. substantivalism, and issues about underdetermination of theories dominated the literature on spacetime. These issues still receive considerable attention from philosophers, but many have shifted their attentions to other questions related to quantum mechanics and to spacetime theories. Quantum field theory has become a major focus, particularly from the point of view of algebraic foundations. Concurrent with these trends, there has been a focus on understanding gauge invariance and symmetries. The philosophy of physics has evolved even further in recent years with attention being paid to theories that, for the most part, were largely ignored in the past. For example, the relationship between thermodynamics and statistical mechanics--once thought to be a paradigm instance of unproblematic theory reduction--is now a hotly debated topic. The implicit, and sometimes explicit, reductionist methodology of both philosophers and physicists has been severely criticized and attention has now turned to the explanatory and descriptive roles of "non-fundamental,'' phenomenological theories. This shift of attention includes "old'' theories such as classical mechanics, once deemed to be of little philosophical interest. Furthermore, some philosophers have become more interested in "less fundamental'' contemporary physics such as condensed matter theory. Questions abound with implications for the nature of models, idealizations, and explanation in physics. This Handbook showcases all these aspects of this complex and dynamic discipline.

Developed on surprisingly simple but fundamental concepts, it provides a rich mathematical and physical structure, justifying it as a subject to be studied in its own right by physicists and mathematicians alike. Ultimately, it is thought that unity root matrix theory may provide an alternative reformulation of some fundamental concepts in physics and an integer-based escape from the current, unification impasse.

This book aims to provide an overview of the special functions of fractional calculus and their applications in diffusion and random search processes. The book contains detailed calculations for various examples of anomalous diffusion, random search and stochastic resetting processes, which can be easily followed by the reader, who will be able to reproduce the obtained results. The book will be intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in physics, mathematics and other natural sciences due to the various examples which will be provided in the book.

Kittel's Introduction to Solid State Physics, Global Edition, has been the standard solid state physics text for physics majors since the publication of its first edition over 60 years ago. The emphasis in the book has always been on physics rather than formal mathematics. This book is written with the goal that it is accessible to undergraduate students and consistently teachable. With each new edition, the author has attempted to add important new developments in the field without impacting its inherent content coverage. This Global Edition offers the advantage of expanded end-of-chapter problem sets.
