Nuclear physics for chemistry and engineering

Written by a researcher and teacher with experience at top institutes in the US and Europe, this textbook provides advanced undergraduates minoring in physics with working knowledge of the principles of nuclear physics.

Simplifying models and approaches reveal the essence of the principles involved, with the mathematical and quantum mechanical background integrated in the text where it is needed and not relegated to the appendices.

The practicality of the book is enhanced by numerous end-of-chapter problems and solutions available on the Wiley homepage.
