Bøger af Mary Walecka

Felix Bloch's first-year graduate course at Stanford University was the highlight for several generations of students. This work has been prepared by Professor Walecka from Bloch's unfinished text based on the course. It includes three sets of Bloch's handwritten lecture notes.

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)".

Presents the foundations and frontiers of physics. This book 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.
