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, presents the foundations and frontiers
of today's physics. It focuses on the following topics: quantum
mechanics; applications in atomic, nuclear, particle, and
condensed-matter physics; special relativity; relativistic quantum
mechanics, including the Dirac equation and Feynman diagrams;
quantum fields; and general relativity. The aim is to cover these
topics in sufficient depth such that things "make sense'' to
students and they can achieve an elementary working knowledge of
them. Many problems are included, a great number of which take
dedicated readers just as far as they want to go in modern physics.
Although the book is designed so that one can, in principle, read
and follow the text without doing any of the problems, the reader
is urged to attempt as many of them as possible. Several appendices
help bring the reader up to speed on any additional required
mathematics. With very few exceptions, the reader should then find
the text, together with the appendices and problems, to be
self-contained.
