In this post, we will see the book Handbook Of Physics by B. Yavorsky and A. Detlaf. We had earlier seen an abridged version of the handbook titled A Modern Handbook of Physics by the same authors.
About the book
A handbook covering fundamental branches of physics in detail.
This handbook is designed primarily for engineering students, as well as college and university students studying, but not majoring in physics. It can be used to advantage by engineers and graduate students, as well as by instructors and lecturers of intermediate schools and colleges.
Mathematical knowledge required in using the handbook is within the scope of the ordinary mathematics courses of engineering institutes. The detailed index and the numerous cross references, indicating the chapter, section and subsection, are of aid in finding any required information.
Translated from the Russian by Nicholas Weinstein
First published 1972 Revised from the 1968 Russian edition
