Our understanding of the physical world was revolutionized in the
twentieth century - the era of "modern physics". This book, aimed
at the very best students, extends the coverage of the theoretical
groundwork of today's physics presented in the previous volume:
Introduction to Modern Physics: Theoretical Foundations (Vol. I).
Typically, students have to wade through several courses to see
many of these topics. The goal is to give them some idea of where
they are going, and how things fit together, as they go along.The
present book focuses on the following topics: reformulation of
quantum mechanics, angular momentum, scattering theory, lagrangian
field theory, symmetries, Feynman rules, quantum electrodynamics,
including higher-order contributions, path integrals, and canonical
transformations for quantum systems. Many problems are included
that enhance and extend the coverage. The book assumes a mastery of
the material in Vol. I, and the continued development of
mathematical skills, including multivariable calculus and linear
algebra. Several appendices provide important details, and any
additional required mathematics. The reader should then find the
text, together with the appendices and problems, to be
self-contained. The aim is to cover the framework of modern
theoretical physics in sufficient depth that things "make sense" to
students, and, when finished, the reader should have an elementary
working knowledge in the principal areas of theoretical physics of
the twentieth century.
