He has been a visiting professor at a number of universities, including the University of Heidelberg, University of Milan, University of Paris VI, University of Minnesota, and scientific institutions such as Helmholtz-Institute Jena and Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
Reviews
Review from previous edition An interesting, even charming book [...] that certainly belongs to every university physics library, as well as in the private libraries of the teachers of mechanics. * R.M. More, University of Pittsburgh, American Journal of Physics Vol 40, 1353 (1972) *
The outstanding value of this work is in the 211 pages of "Solutions". The authors' objective in preparing these extensive solutions is stated in their preface, in part as follows: "As a rule, the solution of a problem is not finished with obtaining the required formulae. It is necessary to analyse the results, and this is by no means a mechanical part of the solution. In particular, it is very desirable to study limiting cases." The authors are notably successful in achieving their objective. [...] The book will interest both students and teachers and prove indispensable to serious students who have acquired only a modest mathematical sophistication. * S.L. Quimby, Columbia University, Physics Today Vol. 25, October 1972 *
