Topics
- General Physics — kinematics, dynamics, waves, thermodynamics, electromagnetism (HRW)
- Mechanics (Statics & Dynamics) — statics and dynamics of rigid bodies
- Electromagnetics — Maxwell, transmission lines, waves, antennas (Ulaby)
- Signals & Systems — continuous- and discrete-time signal analysis (Oppenheim)
- Quantum Mechanics — the standard quantum theory (Sakurai + Ballentine + Gottfried + Schiff)
- Quantum Field Theory — QFT in a nutshell (Zee)
- Dynamical Systems & Simulation — MATLAB/Simulink-based numerical modeling
The quantum mechanics section cross-references Sakurai, Ballentine, Gottfried, and Schiff — comparing formalisms rather than picking one canonical treatment.
