  • Neoclassical Physics

    by Mark A. Cunningham ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this introductory text, physics concepts are introduced as a means of understanding experimental observations, not as a sequential list of facts to be memorized. The book is structured around the key scientific discoveries that led to much of our current understanding of the universe. Numerous exercises are provided that utilize Mathematica software to help students explore how the language of ... Read more

  • Beyond Classical Physics

    by Mark A. Cunningham ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This undergraduate textbook discusses the nature of the microscopic universe from a modern perspective, based on Einstein's notions of relativity and Noether's proof of the emergence of conservation laws from symmetries of the equations of motion. These ideas drove the development of the Standard Model of particle physics and subsequent attempts to define a unified (string) theory. The second half ... Read more

    An Intensive Course

    by Masud Chaichian, Ioan Merches, Anca Tureanu ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Mechanics is one of the oldest and at the same time newest disciplines, in the sense that there are methods and principles developed first in mechanics but now widely used in almost all branches of physics: electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, classical and quantum field theory, special and general theory of relativity, etc. More than that, there are some formalisms like Lagrangian and Hamiltonian ...

  • The Large Hadron Collider

    Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe

    by Martin Beech ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    It may at first seem that the world of subatomic physics is far removed from our every day lives. Isn’t it all just a waste of time and taxpayers' money? Hopefully, all who read this book will come to a different conclusion. Collider physics is all about our origins, and this aspect alone makes it worthy of our very best attention. The experiments conducted within the vast collider chambers are at ... Read more
