Concepts of Modern Physics: Unraveling Old and New Mysteries

In this modern physic textbook, the emphasis is on fundamentals. Symmetry arguments are used whenever pertinent; these arguments play important roles in Special Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Particle Physics, Statistical Mechanics, and General Relativity (the Schwarzschild Field). In Special Relativity, c is introduced as the parameter linking to space. Example problems are included at appropriate places in each chapter. At the end of each chapter, there is a list of thought questions and a set of problems.
