Not a great entry level book, assumes some knowledge of quantum/modern

Published by Kevin , 5 years ago

This book is fairly hard to read as an undergrad in physics. It assumes knowledge of basic quantum and modern physics, yet the course is taught prior to either of those classes. There are no solutions to problems at all, and this makes it hard to practice, as the examples are fairly trivial. Some of the equations worked out also skip "trivial" steps, yet to an undergrad, the steps were not at all trivial.
