January 19: Textbook available at the bookstore: The textbooks have arrived at the bookstore and are now on the
shelves - Modern Physics, Tipler & Llewellyn

January 19: Textbook Availability: I have it on good authority that the required textbook for PHYS 2380, "Modern Physics" by
Tipler & Llewellyn will be available from the bookstore either on Friday (Jan 20), or Monday (Jan 22).

In the meantime one copy of this book is reserved for our class in the Science library in Machray Hall.
While the check-out period is for up to three days, for now I'd ask that until the bookstore receives its
shipment you do not take the book for too long so others can also make use of it. Thanks!
