1. Classical foundations; 2. Special relativity; 3. Quantum mechanics; 4. Elementary particles; 5. Cosmology.
A clear and lively account of the conceptual foundations of modern physics, suitable for undergraduate students in non-science subjects.
David J. Griffiths is an Emeritus Professor of Physics at Reed College. He is the author of three highly-regarded physics textbooks: Introduction to Electrodynamics (third edition, Pearson, 1999), Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (second edition, Pearson, 2004) and Introduction to Elementary Particles (second edition, Wiley-VCH, 2008).
"Nonspecialists and nonscientists curious about such topics as
spacetime, the EPR paradox, chromodynamics, and the origins of
matter will find this concise account a helpful introduction. He
[Griffiths] reconnoiters relativity, quantum mechanics, elementary
particles, and cosmology. Worked examples and scattered problems
serve to reinforce readers' comprehension."
