In less than a generation nuclear reactor physics has developed from esoteric beginnings to a branch of knowledge that has found its way into the college curriculum.

Although still taught primarily at the graduate level, there is already a significant number of colleges and institutions offering or planning to offer undergraduate degrees in nuclear science or engineering where courses in reactor physics are ;m integral part of the program. Undoubtedly this trend will persist and interest in nuclear technology at the undergraduate level will continue to grow through the added stimulus of large-scale financial support of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission.

This book is intended to serve as a textbook for an undergraduate course in nuclear reactor physics. It has been my aim to give the elementary but coherent account of that branch of physics involved in the study and design of nuclear reactors at a standard of presentation judged to be suitable for advanced undergraduate students. The book is the outcome of a course which was originally developed at New York Maritime College as early as 1951. During the last seven years I have been giving this course to selected groups of junior and senior engineering students who have previously had one semester of atomic and nuclear physics and one semester of differential equations.
