UNDERGRADUATE LECTURE NOTES IN PHYSICS INTROD...

This is the third edition of a well-received textbook on modern physics theory. This book
provides an elementary but rigorous and self-contained presentation of the simplest theoretical
framework that will meet the needs of undergraduate students. In addition  a number of examples
of relevant applications and an appropriate list of solved problems are provided.Apart from a
substantial extension of the proposed problems  the new edition provides more detailed
discussion on Lorentz transformations and their group properties  a deeper treatment of quantum
mechanics in a central potential  and a closer comparison of statistical mechanics in classical
and in quantum physics. The first part of the book is devoted to special relativity  with a
particular focus on space-time relativity and relativistic kinematics. The second part deals
with Schrödinger's formulation of quantum mechanics. The presentation concerns mainly
one-dimensional problems  but some three-dimensional examples are discussed in detail. The
third part addresses the application of Gibbs' statistical methods to quantum systems and in
particular to Bose and Fermi gases.
