Each part of the series is a two-component package consisting of: (i) Lecture Notes chapter texts with a list of exercise problems at the end of each chapter, and (ii) Exercise and Test Problems with Model Solutions files available from the author upon request.

From the Preface: The series is a by-product of the so-called core physics courses I taught at Stony Brook University from 1991 to 2013. Reportedly, most physics departments require their graduate students to either take a set of similar courses or pass comprehensive exams based on an approximately similar body of knowledge. This is why I hope that my notes may be useful for both instructors and students of such courses, as well as for individual learners.
