Advanced Topics in Physics for Undergraduates explores classical mechanics, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics beyond the standard introductory courses. Designed to support departments with limited resources, this book integrates these advanced topics into a single, cohesive volume, offering students a unified perspective on fundamental physical principles. By presenting these interconnected subjects in one voice, it provides a compact yet comprehensive resource that enhances understanding and bridges the gaps between core physics disciplines.

Features:
• A structured three-part approach covering classical mechanics, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics

• In-depth exploration of Lagrange and Hamilton formalisms, small oscillations, conservation principles, scalar and vector potentials, radiation, and special relativity

• Advanced quantum mechanics topics such as perturbation theory, scattering, quantum information, and quantum computing

This book serves as an invaluable guide for undergraduate students seeking to deepen their knowledge of physics, preparing them for further academic study or careers in physics and related fields. Its clear explanations and structured approach make it accessible to learners looking to advance their understanding beyond traditional coursework.

Asim Gangopadhyaya earned his Ph.D. in theoretical particle physics from the City University of New York. He is an accomplished educator and a recipient of the Sujack Award for Teaching Excellence at Loyola University Chicago. His teaching extends beyond the classroom, as he frequently collaborates with undergraduate students on both pedagogical and research articles, preparing them to actively contribute to academic scholarship. Prof. Gangopadhyaya is also a co-author of a book on supersymmetric quantum mechanics. His current research focuses on the solvability of quantum mechanical systems, an active area of research in theoretical physics.

Constantin Rasinariu holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where his research focused on superintegrable systems. A dedicated educator and researcher, he brings over three decades of teaching experience across two continents. Prof. Rasinariu has co-authored two textbooks: one on mathematical methods and another one, with Prof. Gangopadhyaya, on supersymmetric quantum mechanics, now in its second edition. His current research interests include supersymmetric quantum mechanics, the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, and quantum computing.
