Designed for use in tandem with the
Handbook of Physics, this volume is nonetheless self–contained and can without difficult be used on its own. The chapters of the Handbook are based on lectures delivered annually by Professor Poole in a course to prepare students for their Ph.D. qualifying examination in the physics department at the University of South Carolina. The present book contains 120 selected problems (and answers) that appeared in these examinations, and each one refers to the chapter in the
Handbook that discusses the background for it.
