This book is an introduction to quantum mechanics for
undergraduates and interested lay persons. The presentation is both
reader-friendly and complete. The first four chapters cover the
conceptual and philosophical aspects of quantum mechanics, before
the next eleven chapters gently present the mathematics underlying
the subject. After a chapter on the history of the theory, the
whole of quantum mechanics is then presented. This is followed by
applications of the theory and a revision chapter, before we
briefly look ahead at relativistic quantum theory.
Read the book, and see for yourself how we have been indoctrinated,
how the Old Testament and its offshoots of Christianity and Islam
have been constructed from Babylonian and Egyptian religions and
mythologies.
This book concentrates on presenting the theory of special
relativity as the geometry of space-time. The presentation is
straightforward, complete and reader-friendly, with explanatory
asides, that give historical context and links with other branches
of physics and mathematics. The first four chapters give a complete
description of the special theory and the nature of space and time,
with the minimum use of mathematics. The mathematics necessary is
introduced in the following five chapters, with the final fifteen
chapters devoted to a comprehensive and detailed exposition of
Einstein's special relativity. Features: Concentrates on presenting
