This second-edition text belongs to a series called "Major American Universities Ph.D. Qualifying Questions and Solutions in Physics." This reference could be of interest to graduate students and engineers specializing in solid-state physics.
This book consists of several parts, including general and special relativity or relativistic cosmology. The general topics section supports analytical, mathematical and measurement of estimation methods.
The reader interested in solid-state physics problems and solutions will find a broad coverage on topics. This collection of solid-state physics problems offers a connection between optical and electromagnetic properties or superconductivity with crystal structures and semiconductor theory.
Topics in optics like polarization or interferometry can be found in the subject index. Short essay-related problems are also included in the section on the history of physics, like recent developments in optics or plasma physics.
