A huge chasm has developed between modern science and undergraduate
education. The result of this chasm is that students who are
graduating from college are unable to exploit the many
opportunities offered by modern science and technology. Modern
science and technology widely uses the methods of classical
physics, but these modern applications are not reflected in the
physics problems often suggested to students. Solving practical
problems is a very effective way to inform students about
contemporary science, to illustrate the important relationships
between modern and classical physics, and to prepare them for
future activity in the modern technological environment. The aim of
this book is to try to bridge this chasm between modern science and
technology and an undergraduate course in physics.The first part of
the book gives an overview of 'hot' directions in modern physics
and technology. The second part includes a brief review of
undergraduate physics, followed by problems which are related to
those directions. These problems, which are based on some of the
latest developments in science and technology, can be solved using
the classical physics accessible in a standard undergraduate
program. Where necessary, the problems have detailed solutions.The
second edition of Modern Physics and Technology for Undergraduates
includes six new subsections dealing with the most recent
developments in science, and a fully updated and expanded list of
problems.
