For a second-year undergraduate course covering atomic and nuclear physics, relativity, space physics, and elementary particle physics, it's essential to select a suitable textbook. While the specific book for the course is not yet confirmed, inquiries have been made to the Physics department head. Given the course's emphasis on mathematics, including Calculus III and potentially Linear Algebra or Differential Equations, students should prepare for a mathematically rigorous curriculum. Recommendations include "Taylor" for its comprehensive coverage, while "Krane" is noted for similar content. "Beiser" was previously used but is no longer in print. Additionally, checking with the college bookstore can provide insights into the textbook orders for the upcoming semester.
