Theory of Physics, Volume 4 Noah M MacKay

Welcome to the quantum world, where the physics of infinitesimally small particles are dominated by probability over certainty. Where mathematics and philosophy collide, quantum mechanics is considered one of the hardest yet quintessential fields in physics. From Planck to Schrödinger to Heisenberg, the nature of subatomic particles is dictated by quantum physics. The Theory of Physics, Vol. 4 not only offers a mathematical introduction, but also a tour of the noteworthy aspects of quantum mechanics, both non-relativistic and relativistic. This book, intended for physics students and science enthusiasts alike, delves into the realm of quantum mechanics; touching topics such as the Schrödinger Equation, the hydrogen atom, the Dirac Equation and an introduction to quantum gravity. The book also assumes readers are familiar with the first three volumes of The Theory of Physics and multi-variable calculus.
