Modern Physics for Scientist and Engineers 4th edition By Thornton/Rex
Physics? 자연 현상을 (수학적인 방법으로) 이해 자연현상 : 측정 (실험) Truth 수학적인 방법으로 이해 : 이론 Interpretation (이론을 바탕으로 예측) Units, references frames, eqn of motions A theory is right as far as it is consistent with all the measurements.
Some thoughts… 대학원 입시 면접 Newton’s mechanics/gravity 양자역학에 대한 view Newton’s mechanics/gravity Based on observation. A right theory is what is consistent with the observation. Laughlin’s statement “Physics is not on the blackboard. It is out there” Prejudice Theory often plays the role of prejudice. Breaking the prejudice

Goal of the class is NOT on simply solving problems but is to understand why scientists had think the way they did. to be able to have the view required in physics research. to be able to have the proper view of the nature.
