Product Description
The material for this series was selected from the past twenty years' examination questions for graduate students at the University of California (Berkeley), Columbia University, the University of Chicago, MIT, the State University of New York at Buffalo,
Princeton University and the University of Wisconsin.
This volume comprises 165 problems. The section on Solid State Physics includes crystal structures and properties, electron theory, energy bands and semiconductors. The Relativity section covers both the special and general theories. Topics that were not appropriate for the other 6 volumes in this series appear here under the heading of Miscellaneous Topics.
Reader ReviewsAll of these books titled "Problems and Solutions on (subject): Major American Universities Ph.D. Qualifying Questions and Solutions" are invaluable tools for a physics graduate student, in my experience. It is difficult to find solved problems concering the topics in this text, so it is smaller than some of the others. However, it is still invaluable. Criticism: Sparse index. You might find yourself adding a lot of notes of your own to the index as well as the contents. If you are a student in physics, I suggest that you get your hands on these books.
