This book, together with the three other volumes, offers a clear and
comprehensive approach to theoretical physics for the entire
Bachelor's program. Highlights: Theoretical derivations are linked
with characteristic examples, their solutions, typical applications,
and are clearly illustrated in diagrams. The required mathematics is
derived within a physical context and explained transparently.

This book is particularly suitable for Bachelor’s students in their
first or second year. Prerequisites: Mathematical prerequisites
include knowledge of differentiation and integration, basic linear
algebra, and concepts from vector calculus. The Author: Wolfgang
Cassing is a retired Professor of Theoretical Physics at the
Justus-Liebig-University Gießen. His expertise lies in phase space
dynamics of classical and quantum many-body systems, which is also
reflected in his scholarly book „Transport Theories for
Strongly-Interacting Systems“. This textbook series Theoretical
Physics Compact also includes Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics,
as well as Quantum Statistics and Thermodynamics.
