Physics for Computer Science Students
註釋This text is intended to teach the fundamentals of physics to computer scientists, electrical engineers, and others interested in electronics. The presentation is thus directed toward understanding the fundamental physics of how a computer works, while still providing a broad and effective one-year introduction to classical and modern physics. The first half of the book provides a complete, standard introduction to physics, but with the selection of topics and presentation tailored to be of use in the second half, which develops the physics of semiconductor devices. This second part covers the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, multi-electron systems, crystal structure, semiconductor devices, and logic circuits. The mathematical complexities are alleviated by intuitive physical arguments. Students are encouraged to use their own programming to solve problems. Some knowledge of calculus is a prerequisite, and the second part can serve by itself as an introduction to the physics of electronics for students who have had a standard two-semester introductory physics course. In this third edition, the first part of the book has been revised somewhat to include more references to the applications of the concepts in the later parts, and the second part now includes sections on chaos and complexity and on noise and information theory. The discussion of devices and fabrication has been revised, and an appendix introducing students to computer programming has been added. This edition includes many new homework problems, including some that involve writing computer programs.
