<p>Modern Physics II is really undergrad QM. In MP1, we just jumped into modern quantum theory in our last exam. Our class was an unusually good class, the professor said. The lowest A was a 93%. I got an 86.29% and the average was 69%. One of the guys in there has published undergrad research, is a TA, has a university office, etc. So, I ended up with a B+. At any rate, what specifically should I read over the summer to prepare for QM and Intermediate Mechanics? The professor said I should read ahead in the QM book, so I'll do that for sure.</p>
<p>PHYS 3309: Intermediate Mechanics
Particle and rigid body dynamics, moving coordinates, variational principles, Lagrange and Hamilton's formalisms, small oscillations, mechanics of continuous media.</p>
