Modern Intermediate Mechanics
暫譯: 現代中級力學

《現代中級力學》（Modern Intermediate Mechanics, MIM）涵蓋了經典力學的所有基本概念。它可以作為一學期課程的基礎教材，或是針對物理或工程學中級本科生的完整兩學期課程。

Walter Wilcox is professor of physics at Baylor University in Waco, TX, USA, and served as Secretary/Treasurer in the Texas Section of the American Physical Society from 2017-2023. He earned a PhD in elementary particle physics from UCLA in 1981 under the guidance of Dr. Julian Schwinger. He has also taught and conducted research at Oklahoma State University (1981-1983), TRIUMF Laboratory (1983-1985), and the University of Kentucky (1985-1986). He has been awarded grants from the National Science Foundation in theoretical physics, and, in collaboration with Ron Morgan, in applied mathematics. He was also awarded the TSAPS Distinguished Service Award in 2023 and has authored approximately 50 peer-reviewed journal articles in his chosen subjects. His research focuses on the development and use of numerical methods in the field of theoretical physics known as "lattice QCD".
Wilcox is an ardent supporter of the freedom-loving people of Ukraine and helped deliver humanitarian supplies from Hungary to the western region of Ukraine in the summer of 2022. He also has supported and worked with Waco Habitat for Humanity for many years.
Wilcox is the proud father of one son who loves all things computer, including using cybersecurity to protect users.

沃爾特·威爾科克斯是美國德克薩斯州韋科的貝勒大學物理學教授，並於2017年至2023年擔任美國物理學會德克薩斯分會的秘書/財務主管。他於1981年在加州大學洛杉磯分校（UCLA）獲得基本粒子物理學的博士學位，指導教授為朱利安·施溫格博士。他還曾在俄克拉荷馬州立大學（1981-1983）、TRIUMF 實驗室（1983-1985）和肯塔基大學（1985-1986）教授和進行研究。他曾獲得國家科學基金會在理論物理學方面的資助，並與羅恩·摩根合作進行應用數學的研究。他於2023年獲得TSAPS傑出服務獎，並在其專業領域發表了約50篇經過同行評審的期刊文章。他的研究重點是發展和使用數值方法，特別是在理論物理學中被稱為「格點量子色動力學」（lattice QCD）的領域。
威爾科克斯是烏克蘭熱愛自由人民的堅定支持者，並在2022年夏季協助將人道主義物資從匈牙利運送到烏克蘭西部地區。他還支持並與韋科人道棲息地合作多年。
威爾科克斯是驕傲的父親，擁有一位熱愛電腦的兒子，包括使用網絡安全技術來保護用戶。
