Since an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, predicted by Einstein in 1925, was first produced in the laboratory in 1995, the study of ultracold Bose and Fermi gases has become one of the most active areas in contemporary physics. This book explains phenomena in ultracold gases from basic principles, without assuming a detailed knowledge of atomic, condensed matter, and nuclear physics. This new edition has been revised and updated, and includes new chapters on optical lattices, low dimensions, and strongly-interacting Fermi systems. This book provides a unified introduction to the physics of ultracold atomic Bose and Fermi gases for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as experimentalists and theorists. Chapters cover the statistical physics of trapped gases, atomic properties, cooling and trapping atoms, interatomic interactions, structure of trapped condensates, collective modes, rotating condensates, superfluidity, interference phenomena, and trapped Fermi gases. Problems are included at the end of each chapter.

Readership: Students, researchers in physics, chemistry, engineering and mathematics, science writers and general readers.

The most all-inclusive, critical survey of the most reliable estimating methods in use today - now completely rewritten and reorganized to reflect the late-breaking developments. A must for design engineers and chemical engineers working with processes involving liquids, gases, and mixtures, this book delivers on-the-spot information for estimating both physical and thermodynamic properties in the absence of experimental data. It also provides an instant-access property data bank of 600+ compound constants for calculating properties.

Like having a private coach at their elbows, this introduction to algebra-based physics involves readers actively in a guided learn-by-doing process¿sensing when they need a very patient exposition and when they need only minimal reinforcement, when they need to focus on concepts and when they need an opportunity to practice their quantitative skills. At the heart of the volume are worked examples in a unique, two-column format that focuses on the basic strategies and step-by-step thought processes involved in problem solving¿with an emphasis on the relationship between the physical concepts and their mathematical expression. Color-coded drawings help readers visualize physics problems, and companion photographs show the same principle at work in different physical contexts, or juxtapose situations in which contrasting principles are at work. Real-world physics applications abound.
