About this book

This volume is a reference source of fundamental formulae in physics and astrophysics. In contrast to most of the usual compendia it carefully explains the physical assumptions entering the formulae. All the important results of physical theories are covered: electrodynamics, hydrodynamics, general relativity, atomic and nuclear physics, and so on. Over 2100 formulae are included, and the original papers for the formulae are cited together with papers on modern applications in a bibliography of over 1900 entries. For this new edition, a chapter on space, time, matter and cosmology has been included and the other chapters have been carefully revised.

Reviews

From the reviews
"This latest up-date remains an essential source book for every student and every researcher in astrophysics, as well as in physics."
Irish Astronomical Journal, 2000

From reviews of the second edition
"a magnificent compendium without which no astronomer's library would be complete."
Optica Acta
