Energy-Momentum Conservation Laws : : From Solar Cells, Nuclear Energy, and Muscle Work to Positron Emission Tomography / / Emil Zolotoyabko.
Conservation laws, reflecting the symmetry of space and time, play a vital role in understanding the surrounding world. Conservation laws allow us to explain very different phenomena from a unified point of view. The textbook illustrates this principle taking examples from mechanics, optics, nuclear...
