For the past five years, my editor at Springer-Verlag has asked me
to write a second edition of this text that would incorporate new
material on the quark model. Because this is a subject at the
forefront of modern physics, whose central ideas are perpetually in
flux, such an addition is not a simple task. Nevertheless, I have
tried to discuss quark model topics that should stand the test of
time and be of interest to introductory advanced quantum mechanics
students as examples of the Feynman diagram technique. I have also
tried to eliminate errors made in the first edition. I appreciate
the work of R. Miller, who graciously typed the additional
material. My colleagues V. Elias, T. Hakioglu, S. Kocic, N. Paver,
and R. Thews helped me formulate the quark model chapter. Tucson,
Arizona M. D. Scadron May 1990 vii Preface to the First Edition The
fundamental goal of physics is an understanding of the forces of
nature in their simplest and most general terms. Yet the scientific
method inadver tently steers us away from that course by requiring
an ever finer subdivision of the problem into constituent
components, so that the overall objective is often obscured, even
to the experts. The situation is most frustrating and acute for
today's graduate students, who must try to absorb as much general
knowledge as is possible and also try to digest only a small
fraction of the ever increasing morass of observational data or
detailed theories to write a dissertation."
