Description for From Special Relativity to Feynman Diagrams: A Course in Theoretical Particle Physics for Beginners (UNITEXT for Physics)
Hardcover. Num Pages: 620 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PGK; PHN; PHQ; PHU; PHVG. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 168 x 247 x 37. Weight in Grams: 1054.
This book, now in its second edition, provides an introductory course on theoretical particle physics with the aim of filling the gap that exists between basic courses of classical and quantum mechanics and advanced courses of (relativistic) quantum mechanics and field theory. After a concise but comprehensive introduction to special relativity, key aspects of relativistic dynamics are covered and some elementary concepts of general relativity introduced. Basics of the theory of groups and Lie algebras are explained, with discussion of the group of rotations and the Lorentz and Poincaré groups. In addition, a concise account of representation theory and of ... Read more
