Advanced Quantum Mechanics Second Edition Advanced Quantum Mechanics Lecture Notes by Professor F. J. Dyson for a Course in Relativistic Quantum Mechanics given at Cornell University in the Fall of 1951. Second Edition

The first edition of these notes was written by Professor Dyson. The second edition was prepared by Michael J. Moravcsik; he is responsible for the changes made in the process of re-editing.

Solutions to Problems in Goldstein, Classical Mechanics, Second Edition

A nucleus, originally at rest, decays radioactively by emitting an electron of momentum 1.73 MeV/c, and at right angles to the direction of the electron a neutrino with momentum 1.00 MeV/c. ( The MeV (million electron volt) is a unit of energy, used in modern physics, equal to 1.60 x 10 erg. Correspondingly, MeV/c is a unit of linear momentum equal to 5.34 x 10 gm-cm/sec.) In what direction doe...

Continuum mechanics beyond the second law of thermodynamics.

The results established in contemporary statistical physics indicating that, on very small space and time scales, the entropy production rate may be negative, motivate a generalization of continuum mechanics. On account of the fluctuation theorem, it is recognized that the evolution of entropy at a material point is stochastically (not deterministically) conditioned by the past history, with an...
