(1) Quamtum Physics I (undergraduate)

(2) Classical Physics I (graduate)




Spring 2018

(2) Quantum Physics 1 (undergraduate): Main text is  "Quantum Physics" 3rd edition by S. Gasiorowicz.







  • Classical Physics I : Graduate course

  • 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.


  • Electromagnetism I:Undergraduate course

  • 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

  • Solid State Physics II : Graduate course

  • 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.


  • Electrodynamics II : Graduate course

  • 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.
