No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1987–88 to 1987–88 (before that, 1972–73 to 1985–86 used the number for Department of Physics and Biophysics of Nervous Systems); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The theories of solid state physics are applied to explain the operation and use of several modem electronic devices, including the p-n junction, transistors, thyristors, tunnel diodes, field effect devices, optical devices, etc.
As printed in the 1987–88 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
