Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics (ULNP) publishes authoritative texts covering
topics throughout pure and applied physics. Each title in the series is suitable as a basis for
undergraduate instruction, typically containing practice problems, worked examples, chapter
summaries, and suggestions for further reading.
ULNP titles must provide at least one of the following:
• An exceptionally clear and concise treatment of a standard undergraduate subject.
• A solid undergraduate-level introduction to a graduate, advanced, or non-standard subject.
• A novel perspective or an unusual approach to teaching a subject.
ULNP especially encourages new, original, and idiosyncratic approaches to physics teaching
at the undergraduate level.
The purpose of ULNP is to provide intriguing, absorbing books that will continue to be the
reader’s preferred reference throughout their academic career.
