This book provides an elementary but rigorous and self-contained presentation of the simplest theoretical framework that will meet the needs of undergraduate students. In addition, a number of examples of relevant applications and an appropriate list of solved problems are provided.Apart from a substantial extension of the proposed problems, the new edition provides more detailed discussion on Lorentz transformations and their group properties, a deeper treatment of quantum mechanics in a central potential, and a closer comparison of statistical mechanics in classical and in quantum physics. The first part of the book is devoted to special relativity, with a particular focus on space-time relativity and relativistic kinematics. The second part deals with Schrödinger's formulation of quantum mechanics. The presentation concerns mainly one-dimensional problems, but some three-dimensional examples are discussed in detail. The third part addresses the application of Gibbs’ statistical methods to quantum systems and in particular to Bose and Fermi gases.Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,2192-4791GravitationQuantum theoryStatistical physicsDynamicsThermodynamicsMathematical physicsClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Complex Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000Thermodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21050Mathematical Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090Gravitation.Quantum theory.Statistical physics.Dynamics.Thermodynamics.Mathematical physics.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.Quantum Physics.Complex Systems.Thermodynamics.Mathematical Physics.Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems.530Becchi Carlo Mariaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut481099D'Elia Massimoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254624303321Introduction to the Basic Concepts of Modern Physics2543282UNINA
