A self-contained guide to the Physics GRE, reviewing all of the topics covered alongside three practice exams with fully worked solutions.

This book provides an accessible introduction to loop quantum gravity and some of its applications, at a level suitable for undergraduate students and others with only a minimal knowledge of college level physics. In particular it is not assumed that the reader is familiar with general relativity and only minimally familiar with quantum mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics. Most chapters end with problems that elaborate on the text, and aid learning. Applications such as loop quantum cosmology, black hole entropy and spin foams are briefly covered. The text is ideally suited for an undergraduate course in the senior year of a physics major. It can also be used to introduce undergraduates to general relativity and quantum field theory as part of a 'special topics' type of course.

GRE Physics practice questions with the most complete explanations and step-by-step solutions. Over 1,300 practice questions cover the following physics topics tested on the GRE Physics: ∙ Kinematics & dynamics ∙ Force, motion, gravitation ∙ Equilibrium and momentum ∙ Work & energy ∙ Waves & periodic motion ∙ Sound ∙ Fluids & solids ∙ Light & optics ∙ Heat & thermodynamics ∙ Electrostatics & electromagnetism ∙ Electric circuits ∙ Atomic & nuclear physics ∙ Quantum mechanics ∙ Special relativity ∙ Laboratory methods To achieve a GRE Physics score, you need to develop skills to properly apply the knowledge you have and quickly choose the correct answer. You must solve numerous practice questions that represent the style and content of the GRE Physics. This GRE Physics prep book contains over 1,300 practice questions with detailed explanations and step-by-step solutions. It is the most complete and comprehensive study tool that will teach you how to approach and solve a multitude of physics problems. This book consists of: - 12 diagnostic tests to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses to optimize your preparation strategy - topical practice question sets to drill down on each topic from a variety of angles and formula applications - test-taking strategies to maximize your performance on the test day - sheets of formulae, equations, variables and units to know for each topic The practice questions that comprise this book will help you to: - master important GRE Physics topics - assess your knowledge of topics tested on the GRE Physics - improve your test-taking skills - prepare for the test comprehensively and cost effectively All the questions in this book are prepared by physics instructors with years of experience in applied physics, as well as in academic settings. This team of physics experts analyzed the content of the test, released by the ETS, and designed practice questions that will help you build knowledge and develop the skills necessary for your success on the test. The questions were reviewed for quality and effectiveness by our science editors who possess extensive credentials, are educated in top colleges and universities, and have years of teaching and editorial experience.

Changes and additions to the new edition of this classic textbook include a new chapter on symmetries, new problems and examples, improved explanations, more numerical problems to be worked on a computer, new applications to solid state physics, and consolidated treatment of time-dependent potentials.

A study aid for senior and graduate level students needing a review of undergraduate physics. Covers a broad range of topics, with carefully worked examples illustrating important problem-solving methods. A collection of self-test problems helps students prepare for the College Entrance Advanced Physics Examination and the Qualifying Written Examination for the PhD.
