This textbook by Stuart Martin Lindsay is the first nanoscience textbook that integrates the mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology of this multidisciplinary field. The book is designed for advanced undergraduate and beginning master’s students in the exact sciences and provides a clear, conceptual introduction without requiring prior knowledge.
It covers quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and chemical kinetics, followed by practical techniques such as microscopy and nanofabrication. It also highlights applications of nanoscience, with topics ranging from electronics in nanostructures to nanobiology. This gives the book a direct connection to current scientific literature.
