Synopsis: Advanced Topics in Physics for Undergraduates explores classical mechanics, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics beyond the standard introductory courses. Designed to support departments with limited resources, this book integrates these advanced topics into a single, cohesive volume, offering students a unified perspective on fundamental physical principles. By presenting these interconnected subjects in one voice, it provides a compact yet comprehensive resource that enhances understanding and bridges the gaps between core physics disciplines.Features: A structured three-part approach covering classical mechanics, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics In-depth exploration of Lagrange and Hamilton formalisms, small oscillations, conservation principles, scalar and vector potentials, radiation, and special relativity Advanced quantum mechanics topics such as perturbation theory, scattering, quantum information, and quantum computing This book serves as an invaluable guide for undergraduate students seeking to deepen their knowledge of physics, preparing them for further academic study or careers in physics and related fields. Its clear explanations and structured approach make it accessible to learners looking to advance their understanding beyond traditional coursework.
