Schaum's Outline of Modern Physics

Great outline of special relativity and worked examples and practice exercises. Covers topics in QM other than Schroedinger Equation (the latter is covered in Schaum's Outline of Quantum Mechanics.

The area of modern physics is related to the topics that have evolved since roughly in twentieth century.Modern physics is a branch of physics in which matter and energy are not separated , but instead are alternate forms of one another. This branch is based primarily on Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and Max Planck's quantum theory. Modern physics is divided into a variety of different areas of study, including atomic physics, nuclear physics, high-energy physics, ultrasonic, solid-state physics and plasma physics. The laws of conservation are a main part of modern physics, including those of mass, energy and momentum, which are also part of classical physics.However, the laws of conservation of subatomic particles are unique to modern physics. The chapter well designed and are including succinct presentation of principals and core of particular subject, followed by large number of totallysolved problems, with answers. The book is an advance level and the writer assumed that the reader already has had the standard introductory courses in general physics, and the book has been prepared for junior level.

It is just what I need for my studies as a student and provides the problems I need for practice.

This book has some good material in it, but it is better-or-worse straightforward. I bought it because it was the required "text" for the class but I rarely used it.A standard modern physics book was far more helpful. More examples, more explanations, better structure, more figures.Buy this only if it is your supplementary source.

I'm very pleased with the book and the promptness of delivery. I would definitely buy from this seller again!

As a college student taking Modern Physics, I found this book to be very helpful with my homework. Many of the subjects covered in my course were found to also be in the Schaum's Outline of Modern Physics. What it does severely lack in is explanation. For me, I skipped using it to learn anything, and just focused on following the example problems step-by-step (with different numbers, of course!) For the average student looking for a little help, I'd definitely suggest this book!

This was on my daughters wish list, so I purchased it. It's great for bed time stories, puts everyone to sleep, who knew?

This book is for those who for some reason find text books a little abstract and find themselves into trouble because of this. But with this books in your hands you can be sure that you'll have a second source where to look. It's well organized, and the sample exercises are really great and will help you all along. It starts with basic Galilean transformations, wave mechanics, relativity and a glimpse to quantum mechanics. If you're a student and feel the need for another source of information other than your text books, look no further, this outline is the best out there.

Completamente inutil los problemas que hay en el. De nivel muy bajo

The book is very useful for fast recollection of the topics in Modern Physics and conducting a short term course in Modern Physics to any one who is new to this subject. It is a very useful reference book for all Engineers, scientists and also to medicos.

An excellent book. This style of text is the best way to learn physics. I teach physics at levels spanning foundation to postgraduate and find this series of books very valuable. Physics students should consider buying AND working through this book.

as always very useful

A good book of solved problems, but does not talk about Minkowski space time approach, there are also many printing mistakes. I have only seen the first few chapters on relativity, and am trying to worknout the problems in order to understand the logics, but the printing errors makes me every time to halt beforeto ensure the correctness of my answer.V Thyagarajan
