Synopsis de l’éditeur
!the author shows how semiconductors and networks require a good understanding of physics 'by discovery' ! . Following a story that requires only high-school mathematics, the reader is transported from mechanics to thermodynamics, wave propagation, quantum mechanics and even to basic electronic engineering concepts ! . Each chapter includes exercises and formal references as well as suggested readings and a provocative section on the social impacts of technology. --Optics & Photonics News (OPN), January 2011 Change the title of this excellent text to 'Physics for the Internet Age: The Silicon Web' as soon as possible to attract teachers of all introductory physics courses to look into this text for adoption with its many hints as a PER [Physics Education Research]-influenced text. --Professor John L. Hubisz, North Carolina State University, The Physics Teacher, November 2010 ! a text perfect in itself and perfect for its time ! . ideal for an undergraduate course required of all physical science, engineering, computer science, and mathematics majors. --Physics Today [A] stunningly rich story about the Internet and its associated technologies ! . The Silicon Web is an elegant and elaborate textbook, one that examines the science underlying the current revolution in communications technology. Each scientific concept arises on a need-to-know basis in the context of a particular ! issue or device. All the important physics is here, but presented in an engaging way, with modern examples. --From the Foreword by Louis A. Bloomfield, author of How Things Work Lire la suite...
