An Introduction to the Theory of Stellar Structure and Evolution Book

This lucid textbook provides undergraduate students with a clear and comprehensive introduction to the theory that predicts the birth, life and death of stars and their internal structure. It requires only basic introductory undergraduate physics and mathematics, and no prior knowledge of astronomy. Throughout this book, emphasis is placed on the basic physical principles. Processes are explained in the simplest terms but without compromising mathematical rigor, and exercises with solutions are included to help the reader. This textbook provides a stimulating introduction for undergraduates in astronomy, physics, planetary science and applied mathematics taking a course on the physics of stars.Read More

  • Product Description

    Using fundamental physics, the theory of stellar structure and evolution is able to predict how stars are born, how their complex internal structure changes, what nuclear fuel they burn, and their ultimate fate. This undergraduate textbook provides a clear, methodical introduction to the theory of stellar structure and evolution. Starting from general principles and axioms, step-by-step coverage leads students to a global, comprehensive understanding of the subject. Throughout, the book uniquely places emphasis on the basic physical principles governing stellar structure and evolution. All processes are explained in clear and simple terms with all the necessary mathematics included. Exercises and their full solutions allow students to test their understanding. This book requires only a basic background in physics and mathematics and assumes no prior knowledge of astronomy. It provides a stimulating introduction for undergraduates in astronomy, physics, planetary science and applied mathematics taking a course on the physics of stars.
