Fall 2024
(1) Quamtum Physics II (undergraduate): Mainly the perturbation theory
(2) Classical Physics II (graduate): We will cover Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics.
Spring 2024
(1) Quamtum Physics I (undergraduate)
(2) Classical Physics I (graduate)
Spring 2018
(1) General Physics 1
(2) Quantum Physics 1 (undergraduate): Main text is "Quantum Physics" 3rd edition by S. Gasiorowicz.
Main Texts
(1) Classical Mechanics by H. Goldstein
A standard textbook for graudate level classical mechanics. In the third revised edition, a chpater on chaos has been added
(2)Mechanics by Landau
Another popular textbook. An excellent selection of problems which are fully worked out.. However, the expositions are somewhat too terse.
Main Texts
(1)Introduction to Electrodynamics by D. J. Griffiths
In this semester, vector analysis, electro/magneto statics.
(2) Electrodynamics of continuous media (Volume 8) by Landau and Lifshitz
An excellent textbook with many interesting applications. But burden on student's side is a bit high.
Fall 2004
Main Texts
(1) Solid State Physics by Ashcroft and Mermin
This is an excellent textbook emphasizing conceptual backgrounds. However, the expositions at some places become too verbose to intimate unmotivated students
(2) Introduction to Solid State Physics by Kittel
Another popular textbook. A good selection of experimental data. Well updated. However, the expositions of basic concepts are not well organized.
Main Texts
(1) Classical Electrodynamics by J. D. Jackson
In this semester, we will concentrate on the wave propagations, the wave guides, and the optical fibers.
(2) Electrodynamics of continuos media (Volume 8) by Landau and Lifshitz
An excellent textbook with many interesting applications. But burden on student's side is a bit high.
