Emphasis is placed on problem solving and quantitative reasoning. The Open Yale Courses Book Series. R. Shankar is Josiah Willard Gibbs Professor of Physics, Yale University. There will be one in-class midterm halfway through the semester.Ramamurti Shankar is John Randolph Huffman Professor of Physics at Yale. In this concise and self-contained book based on his online Yale course, Shankar explains the fundamental concepts of physics from Galileo’s and Newton’s discoveries to the twentieth-century’s revolutionary ideas on relativity and quantum mechanics.
He is dedicated to teaching and has published two texts: Principles of Quantum Mechanics and Basic Training in Mathematics: A Fitness Program for Science Students. The book begins at the simplest level, develops the basics, and reinforces fundamentals, ensuring a solid foundation in the principles and methods of physics. Emphasis is placed on problem solving and quantitative reasoning.
