图书简介
This book leapfrogs over the usual pedagogical progression, taking readers to a real understanding of quantum, relativistic, nuclear and particle physics. These areas are usually reserved for the end of one’s undergraduate career or even for graduate students in physics programs, but do not need to be. The Scenic Route is really created out of the joy of science; it is not designed to produce problem-solving ability but rather is designed to reveal some physics that is just plain nifty. Guided by an understanding that much of modern physics is available to almost everyone with a moderate mathematical vocabulary, we lead the student through a short, trenchant tour of quantum physics, relativity, modern particle physics and its history.Key Features: oThis book takes a different approach from conventional texts to modern physics, guiding the reader through physics principles that are not on the well-trodden pedagogical pathsoThese principles are typically reserved for students towards the end of their undergraduate career or even for graduate students. But they do not have to beoA particular emphasis is placed on the principles of symmetry, one of the central ideas of physics for the past centuryoThe intent of the coverage of relativity and quantum mechanics is to focus on understanding the "bizarre" aspects of these topics rather than the presentation of solutions to specific common problemsoThe coverage of nuclear and particle physics is relatively systematic for a text at this level, as a result of incorporating symmetry principles
