Modern Physics

I still have my brand-new copy from when I took the course with Professor Philip Best at UConn! Exact same cover as the one you are selling!

Deliver fast.. Great condition of the book... And the price is cheap compared to other sellers... Well done

I am currently in the process of taking a modern physics course, and thus far this book has been excellent in its explanation and method. I especially appreciate the fact that the equations are not all derived, but instead they are sometimes used as advanced homework problems. If a person is truly interested in understanding physics and being capable of deriving physical relationships, these advanced problems are the key to learning. Aside from the advanced derivation problems, the basic problems begin with approaches seen in the thoroughly explained examples contained within the chapters. So far, my understanding of the subject matter is excellent, just by reading the book alone. This is the first physics book that I can actually go through the symbolic manipulation in my head and follow the process of scientific discovery. A note: I am also currently enrolled in a theoretical physics course. This is a high level math course that has greatly aided my understanding of physical math. Those with a strong math background should be able to handle this book alone without a problem. Others will most likely be able to look up the more advanced problems online to aid in their quest.

I own several modern physics books,and over all this book is the best. It presents information in a direct, concise, and clear manner. I often used this book instead of my text book to help me understand the concepts necessary to excell in my class. Sometimes the information is a bit much, and a little overwhelming if not intimidating, but over all this introductory to modern physics text is the best one currently in print.

I have taken several physics courses over the past few years and have used a handful of different books but this one is the best one hands down. The information is presented clearly and examples are solved step by step so there is little or no confusion. Normally I feel intimidated by physics but this book is very user-friendly.

Compared to most other Modern Physics text this one has by far the most information, it is also pleasingly self-contained. True it can be tedious reading at times, but getting through it provides substancial enlightenment. It also has numerous examples and mid-chapter thought provoking questions that help you master the microscopic nature of quantum systems. But truely, this text goes beyond the boundary of a normal Modern Physics text, providing superb understanding of the subject; the authors really know what they are talking about, and there is also a web support page for additional information!
