These lecture notes on electromagnetism have evolved from graduate and undergraduate EM theory courses given by the author at the University of Rochester, with the basics presented with clarity and his characteristic attention to detail. The thirteen chapters cover, in logical sequence, topics ranging from electrostatics, magnetostatics and Maxwell's equations to plasmas and radiation. Boundary value problems are treated extensively, as are wave guides, electromagnetic interactions and fields. This second edition comprises many of the topics expanded with more details on the derivation of various equations, particularly in the second half of the book that focuses on rather advanced topics. This set of lecture notes, written in a simple and lucid style and in a manner that is complementary to other texts on electromagnetism, will be a valuable addition to the physics bookshelf.

A set of lecture notes on quantum mechanics. It includes a review of classical mechanics and some of the necessary mathematics. It covers the harmonic oscillator, the hydrogen atom, angular momentum as well as topics such as symmetry with a discussion on periodic potentials, the relativistic electron, spin and scattering theory.

A book on gravitation that starts from a simple description of geometry. It includes topics that are systematically developed to the big bang theory with a simple derivation of the cosmic background temperature. It provides several informative examples that are worked out in detail.

Offers solutions to problems given in the book by A Das and T Ferbel. This manual discusses the problems in detail, aimed at helping both the student and teacher get a better grasp of the issues brought up in the text and in the associated problems.

Describes quantum field theory within the context of path integrals. With its utility in a variety of fields in physics, the subject matter is primarily developed within the context of quantum mechanics before going into specialized areas. This book also covers path integral quantization of gauge theories and anomalies, and more.

The original edition of Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics was used with great success for single-semester courses on nuclear and particle physics offered by American and Canadian universities at the undergraduate level. It was also translated into German, and used overseas.

This text discusses all three formalisms used in the study of finite temperature field theory, namely the imaginary time formalism, the closed time formalism and thermofield dynamics. Applications of the formalisms are worked out in detail.
