Over the past decade, significant changes in the teaching of applied physics have taken place. More emphasis is now placed on subjects such as relativity, atomic physics, nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, semiconductors, and superconductors. Completely updated, Schaum's Outline of Applied Physics, Fourth Edition, devotes more space to these subjects and includes a host of new material.
