Introduction to The Basic Concepts of Modern Physics

Authors: Becchi, Carlo Maria, D'Elia, Massimo
New to this edition is a more detailed discussion on Lorentz transformations, a deeper treatment of quantum mechanics, and a closer comparison of statistical mechanics in classical and in quantum physics
Includes more worked examples of relevant applications as well as solved problems
Provides a rigorous and self-contained presentation within the simplest theoretical framework and using elementary mathematical tools

These notes are designed as a text book for a course on the Modern Physics Theory for undergraduate students. The purpose is providing a rigorous and self-contained presentation of the simplest theoretical framework using elementary mathematical tools. A number of examples of relevant applications and an appropriate list of exercises and answered questions are also given.
