Appendix
N2  - The book is intended to be used in one-semester course on modern physics for students who have already had basic physics and calculus courses. The balance of the book leans more toward ideas than a conceptual framework than by a mass of details. The sequence of topics follows a logical, rather than strictly historical, order. relativity and quantum ideas are considered first to provide a framework for understanding the physics of atoms and unclei. The theory of the atom is then developed and followed by a discussion of the properties of aggregates of atoms, which includes a look at statistical mechanics
