Ebook Free Download | Waves and Oscillations: A Prelude to Quantum Mechanics | It's easy for textbooks, especially physics textbooks to get bland and use stuffy/complex language. Smith takes you through things at a good pace with a nice mix of theoretical and concrete treatment. I have two waves and optics textbooks by different authors. I skimmed most of my old book because the chapters were long and didn't have many applications. This book was very well organized and if you need more applications than what's in the chapter there are really cool apps on the book website and the HWK problems give great applications too! Smith really has a delightful sense of humor-- you can tell he loves the subject.What's interesting about this book is he approaches the material using math that is extremly useful in Quantum Physics. The transition to quantum is tough on a lot of people but this book makes preparing easier and more enjoyable. I thought I would sell the book back when I was done with the class but it's a great reference-- at the end of each chapter there's a list of "what you should know", "key terms", that includes applied and conceptual terms rather than just equations(my last book just listed equations which was annoying). The lists are extremely useful if you're having trouble recalling stuff for HWK or need to look up something for another course. I am so glad I used this book. Smith is really cool and most importantly the physics was well explained!
