loginThe Oxford Master Series is designed for final year undergraduate and beginning graduate students inphysics and related disciplines. It has been driven by a perceived gap in the literature today. While basicundergraduate physics texts often show little or no connection with the huge explosion of research over thelast two decades, more advanced and specialized texts tend to be rather daunting for students. In thisseries, all topics and their consequences are treated at a simple level, while pointers to recent developmentsare provided at various stages. The emphasis in on clear physical principles like symmetry, quantummechanics, and electromagnetism which underlie the whole of physics. At the same time, the subjects arerelated to real measurements and to the experimental techniques and devices currently used by physicistsin academe and industry. Books in this series are written as course books, and include ample tutorialmaterial, examples, illustrations, revision points, and problem sets. They can likewise be used aspreparation for students starting a doctorate in physics and related fields, or for recent graduates startingresearch in one of these fields in industry.
