A graduate level introduction to the theory and applications of time correlation functions and the molecular theory of fluid dynamics. "Quite well organized . . . the literature coverage is impressive." — Physics Today. 110 illustrations.

Focusing on the molecular level, this book explores how material behaviors influence their macroscopic properties. It serves as an accessible introduction for both students and non-specialists, bridging the gap between complex scientific concepts and practical understanding. Through clear explanations, readers will gain insights into the fundamental principles governing materials science.

Focusing on the principles of nuclear radiation and its interactions with matter, this book serves as a foundational resource for graduate students in Nuclear Science and Engineering. Developed from a course at MIT, it emphasizes the application of nuclear concepts in engineering rather than traditional nuclear physics. The text prepares students to work with various nuclear devices, highlighting the importance of understanding radiation properties for the development and optimization of safe and efficient technologies in the field.
