Fundamental PhysicsA Guide to Relativity and Quantum Theory\nAuthor(s): Martin Bojowald\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781032962344, 978-1032962344\nSynopsis\nThis book presents the two foundational pillars of modern physics, quantum mechanics and general relativity, in a coherent form aimed primarily at upper-level undergraduate students. It provides a unified picture of the underlying field of mathematical physics and the fruitful interactions between different methods and applications. To help students navigate both topics, the book takes a systematic, pedagogical and uniform approach to the underlying theories and applications. This includes detailed discussions of applications, such as in atomic and particle physics, measurements of space and time, black holes and cosmology.\n\nFundamental Physics: A Guide to Relativity and Quantum Theory is essential for upper-level undergraduate students looking to develop d
