| Title | Special Relativity for the Enthusiast |
| Author(s) | Strohm, Thomas |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2023. |
| Description | XVI, 344 p. 149 illus., 137 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This textbook introduces special relativity with a focus on a profound understanding of the physics behind the theory. The main part of the book is targeted to undergraduates, for physics education, for undergraduate students in natural sciences in general, and even to interested laypersons. To serve these target groups, the book uses only basic mathematics and, in contrast to many other introductions to special relativity, the book is based on a pedagogical approach that relies on geometry and space-time diagrams to make the surprising predictions of the theory particularly clear. Special relativity is a geometric theory, and space-time diagrams are an efficient and easily understandable way to comprehend its implications. The textbook, however, is also suitable for advanced students and enthusiasts that already learned the basics of the special theory of relativity and want to know more. Special digression sections provide plenty of interesting material. Carefully selected problems with solutions and in-depth explanations for all key experiments help deepen the knowledge |

| Title | Scientific publishing and presentation : A practical guide with advice on doctoral studies and career planning |
| Author(s) | Ascheron, Claus |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2023. |
| Description | XII, 157 p. 24 illus., 5 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The aim of this book is to help young scientists improve their oral and written communication skills and thus better sell their own results. This book is not a scientific textbook. It addresses the often forgotten question of how to present one's scientific results effectively and convincingly in talks and publications. In addition, this book provides background knowledge on the process of scientific publishing and scientific customs. The recommendations help to develop a good and effective work and communication style that will benefit you throughout your life and bring satisfaction in your work. Furthermore, concrete advice is given on how to write and successfully defend a dissertation and how to take the first steps in career planning. The author Claus Ascheron studied physics at the University of Leipzig. He received his diploma in 1976 and his doctorate in 1980, for which he was awarded the Gustav Hertz Prize of the Physical Society. In 1986 he habilitated. Until 1992 he taught physics at the University of Leipzig. In 1993 he was a visiting professor at the Australian National University in Canberra. This was followed by a two-year Full Professorship at Kyoto University, Japan. From 1995 to 2018, he was the editor responsible for a major part of the physics book program of Springer-Verlag in Heidelberg. He has been invited by numerous international universities and research institutions to teach soft-skill courses on the topics covered in this book. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation |

| Title | Teaching-Learning Contemporary Physics : From Research to Practice |
| Author(s) | Jarosievitz, Beata;S??k??sd, Csaba |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | X, 285 p. 91 illus., 81 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents research contributions focussing on the introduction of contemporary physics topics ??? mainly, but not exclusively, quantum physics ??? into high school currciula. Despite the important advances and discoveries in quantum physics and relativity which have revolutionized our views of nature and our everyday lives, the presence of these topics in high school physics education is still lacking. In this book physics education researchers report on the teaching and learning of quantum physics from different perspectives and discuss the design and use of different pedagogical approaches and educational pathways. There is still much debate as to what content is appropriate at high school level as well what pedagogical approaches and strategies should be adopted to support student learning. Currently there is a greater focus on how to teach modern physics at the high school level rather than classical physics. However, teachers still lack experience and availability of appropriate teaching and learning materials to support the coherent integration of Quantum Physics in high school curricula. All of the 19 papers presented in this book discuss innovative approaches for enhancing physics education in schools |

| Title | Modeling and Simulation of Complex Dynamical Systems : Virtual Laboratory Approach based on Wolfram SystemModeler |
| Author(s) | Ryzhov, Vladimir;Fedorova, Tatiana;Safronov, Kirill;Sulaiman, Shaharin Anwar;Ovinis, Mark;Perumal, Veeradasan |
| Publication | Singapore, Springer Nature Singapore, 2021. |
| Description | XIV, 168 p. 193 illus., 179 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book highlights the practical aspects of computer modelling and simulation of complex dynamical systems for students. Mechanical systems are considered in the book as representative examples of dynamical systems. Wolfram SystemModeler, in combination with Learning Management System Sakai, is used as an instrument for studying features of various physical and technical phenomena and processes. Each of the presented virtual labs may be considered a stand-alone mini project to enable students to go through all the steps of mathematical modelling and computer simulation???from the problem statement to mathematical and physical analysis of the obtained result. The book is useful for teachers to organize the educational process, allowing gradual monitoring of the learning process and assessment of students??? competencies. It also allows tutors to design individual educational trajectories for students to achieve educational properties. The subject of the book is an extension of activity started by the international team of authors within the InMotion project of the European programme ERASMUS+ |

| Title | Key Competences in Physics Teaching and Learning : Selected Contributions from the International Conference GIREP EPEC 2015, Wroc??aw Poland, 6???10 July 2015 |
| Author(s) | Greczy??o, Tomasz;D??bowska, Ewa |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XII, 230 p. 81 illus., 58 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents a selection of the best contributions to GIREP EPEC 2015, the Conference of the International Research Group on Physics Teaching (GIREP) and the European Physical Society???s Physics Education Division (EPS PED). It introduces readers interested in the field to the problem of identifying strategies and tools to improve physics teaching and learning so as to convey Key Competences and help students acquire them. The main topic of the conference was Key Competences (KC) in physics teaching and learning in the form of knowledge, skills and attitudes that are fundamental for every member of society. Given the role of physics as a field strongly connected not only to digital competence but also to several other Key Competences, this conference provided a forum for in-depth discussions of related issues |
