Ideal for peer-learning environments, the Student Activity Workbook offers group workshop activities for all the core concepts in the text, with an emphasis on developing problem-solving skills.

Product Description: One semester introduction to the major concepts of quantum mechanics. Emphasis is on abstract state vectors and on operators. (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Suitable for second courses in physics following calculus-based introductory physics.   This text provides a smooth transition from introductory into modern physics–the physics of the 20th century. The mathematics is kept simple, so students can better concentrate on the important physical concepts...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Paying close attention to the experimental evidence as the basis for its theoretical development, the book's first five chapters follow the traditional introduction to electricity: vector calculus, electrostatic field and potential, boundary-value problems, dielectrics, and electric energy. Chapters 6 and 7 provide an overview of the physical foundations of special relativity and of the four-dimensional tensor formalism. In chapter 8, the union of Coulomb's law with the laws of special relativity leads to the relativistic form of Maxwell's equations. The book concludes with applications of Maxwell's equations in chapters 9 through 16: magnetostatics, induction, materials, electromagnetic waves, radiation, waveguides, and scattering and diffraction. Numerous examples and excercises are included.

Product Description: The Student Solutions Manual contains detailed solutions to approximately 50 percent of the odd-numbered problems whose answers appear in the back of the book. This valuable resource provides students with over 1,000 additional worked examples.
