UNDERGRADUATE LECTURE NOTES IN PHYSICS BEYOND...

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 of the book explores various aspects of many-body physics  ranging from
chemical systems to plasmas to black holes. Like the previous textbook authored by by Mark
Cunningham  Neoclassical Physics  this text uses a guided discovery approach of instruction 
highlighting the experimental results that drove development of our modern picture of subatomic
physics. Many problems utilize Mathematica® software to enable students to explore the meaning
of different equations in a graphical manner. Students will gain an appreciation of the current
state of physical theory  in preparation for more detailed  advanced study as upperclassmen.
