10 A Recommendation 44




2

, Preface

This summary is based on the course 3AEX0, its lectures and the book University Physics with Modern
Physics. This text is based on the handwritten notes I made when I took the course during the year
2018-2019.
Use this summary at your own risk; I am not responsible for your exam and sections in this
summary may contain errors, redundant information or absence of important information.
Information may be outdated and not part of the course anymore. My recommendation
is that you also study the book, lecture slides and exercises as well as exam questions
thoroughly.
The chapters and sections will be named after the sections in the book. This document will feature
a summary of the concepts along with some example exam questions. There will be another version
available that is slightly shortened. Typos and mistakes or whatever will not be fixed.
