This is the third edition of a well-received textbook on modern
physics theory. This book provides an elementary but rigorous and
self-contained presentation of the simplest theoretical framework
that will meet the needs of undergraduate students. In addition, a
number of examples of relevant applications and an appropriate list
of solved problems are provided.Apart from a substantial extension
of the proposed problems, the new edition provides more detailed
discussion on Lorentz transformations and their group properties, a
deeper treatment of quantum mechanics in a central potential, and a
closer comparison of statistical mechanics in classical and in
quantum physics. The first part of the book is devoted to special
relativity, with a particular focus on space-time relativity and
relativistic kinematics. The second part deals with Schroedinger's
formulation of quantum mechanics. The presentation concerns mainly
one-dimensional problems, but some three-dimensional examples are
discussed in detail. The third part addresses the application of
Gibbs' statistical methods to quantum systems and in particular to
Bose and Fermi gases.
