This book presents peer-reviewed articles from the 1st
International Conference on Trends in Modern Physics (TiMP 2021)
held at Assam Don Bosco University in Guwahati, India, between
February 26 and 27, 2021. This conference was the 3rd in a series
of annual conferences of the Department of Physics, ADBU, with the
1st and 2nd being national conferences. The conference was jointly
organized by the Department of Physics, ADBU, and the Indian
Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT) to promote greater synergy
between thematic areas of astrophysics and cosmology, plasma
physics, material and nanophysics, nuclear physics, and particle
physics

This book provides an in-depth and accessible description of
special relativity and quantum mechanics which together form the
foundation of 21st century physics. A novel aspect is that symmetry
is given its rightful prominence as an integral part of this
foundation. The book offers not only a conceptual understanding of
symmetry, but also the mathematical tools necessary for
quantitative analysis. As such, it provides a valuable precursor to
more focused, advanced books on special relativity or quantum
mechanics. Students are introduced to several topics not typically
covered until much later in their education.These include
space-time diagrams, the action principle, a proof of Noether's
theorem, Lorentz vectors and tensors, symmetry breaking and general
relativity. The book also provides extensive descriptions on topics
of current general interest such as gravitational waves, cosmology,
Bell's theorem, entanglement and quantum computing. Throughout the
text, every opportunity is taken to emphasize the intimate
connection between physics, symmetry and mathematics.The style
remains light despite the rigorous and intensive content. The book
is intended as a stand-alone or supplementary physics text for a
one or two semester course for students who have completed an
introductory calculus course and a first-year physics course that
includes Newtonian mechanics and some electrostatics. Basic
knowledge of linear algebra is useful but not essential, as all
requisite mathematical background is provided either in the body of
the text or in the Appendices. Interspersed through the text are
well over a hundred worked examples and unsolved exercises for the
student.
