Einstein A. Relativity. The special and the general theory (Pi Press, 2005)

Robert Geroch builds on Einstein's work with commentary that addresses the ideas at the heart of the theory, bringing a modern understanding of relativity to the text. He elucidates how special relativity is a reconciliation of the contradictions between the nature of light and the principle of relativity; he expands on Einstein's treatment of the...

The Genesis of Feynman Diagrams by A. Wuethrich

In a detailed reconstruction of the genesis of Feynman diagrams the author reveals that their development was constantly driven by the attempt to resolve fundamental problems concerning the uninterpretable infinities that arose in quantum as well as classical theories of electrodynamic phenomena. Accordingly, as a comparison with the graphical...

Group Theory in Physics Problems and Solutions - Michael Aivazis

Though the product description does not explicitly say it, this book is a collection of the end-of-chapter problems in Group Theory in Physics with solutions. Consequently, the problems make frequent references to definitions, axioms, and theorems in Group Theory in Physics, and the solutions follow its notation. This limits the...

Physics of Quantum Mechanics, The - Skinner, David, Binney, James 2013

The Physics of Quantum Mechanics aims to give students a good understanding of how quantum mechanics describes the material world. It shows that the theory follows naturally from the use of probability amplitudes to derive probabilities. It stresses that stationary states are unphysical mathematical abstractions that enable us to solve the theory's...
