An introduction to the physics of the 20th century, for science and engineering students who are acquainted with classical mechanics and electrodynamics from the calculus-based introductory physics course, but who have not yet been exposed to quantum physics or relativity. Among the changes in this revised edition (1st ed., 1987) are a new Chapter 8 on statistical physics; a new section on the scanning tunneling microscope; expanded discussions of lasers and nuclear reactors; many additional solved problems; and about 50% additional chapter-end problems.
