The Advanced Higher Physics Theory Book provides comprehensive coverage of the SQA syllabus for the Advanced Higher course in Physics. Written by an author with over 25 years' experience of teaching Advanced Higher Physics, the material will engage students with a range of abilities. The book, however, is not intended as a last minute stop gap for students who wish to scrape through the course with the minimum of work. Other publishers have that covered. It will appeal more to the student who likes a joke, has an interest in science, and wants to know how the world works!The book presents a comprehensive guide to the subject, not just for students requiring a 'pass' at the subject, but also for those preparing to take the next step towards university. The book covers:Rotational Motion and Astrophysics Quanta and Waves ElectromagnetismIt is ideal for use with its companion books:Advanced Higher Physics - Questions and Solutions, which provides over 450 questions along with detailed solutionsAdvanced Higher Physics - Investigations Companion, which includes detailed descriptions of 20 projects.

Containing over 450 questions, most of them multi-part, the Advanced Higher Physics Questions & Solutions book offers comprehensive coverage of the SQA's course in Advanced Higher Physics.All types of question are covered including: familiarising yourself with a new equation, multipart questions leading you to a solution in easy steps, applying concepts in unfamiliar situations, and 'fill in the blanks'. With over 25 years' experience of teaching Advanced Higher Physics, the author is able to provide questions covering every level of difficulty. Detailed solutions, some of which are very detailed, guide the student through each step towards the answers. The Advanced Higher Questions and Solutions book is ideal for use with its companion books:Advanced Higher Physics Theory, which covers, in depth, the SQA's Advanced Higher courseAdvanced Higher Physics Investigations Companion, which includes detailed descriptions of 20 projects.

Written by a teacher with over 25 years' experience of teaching Advanced Higher physics, the Advanced Higher Physics Investigations Companion offers comprehensive support for students tackling the Investigation component of the SQA's Advanced Higher Physics course. It contains descriptions of 20 projects, together with all those little bits and pieces that the experts seem to know about but were never written down. There are sections on: choosing and carrying out a project, the daybook, writing up the report and drawing graphs as well as how to handle errors and uncertainties. And advice on what to do if you crack-up. The Investigations Companion complements the Advanced Higher Physics Theory and the Advanced Higher Physics Questions & Solutions books by the same author.

Our understanding of the physical world was revolutionized in the twentieth century — the era of “modern physics”. This book, aimed at the very best students, extends the coverage of the theoretical groundwork of today's physics presented in the previous volume: Introduction to Modern Physics: Theoretical Foundations (Vol. I). Typically, students have to wade through several courses to see many of these topics. The goal is to give them some idea of where they are going, and how things fit together, as they go along.The present book focuses on the following topics: reformulation of quantum mechanics, angular momentum, scattering theory, lagrangian field theory, symmetries, Feynman rules, quantum electrodynamics, including higher-order contributions, path integrals, and canonical transformations for quantum systems. Many problems are included that enhance and extend the coverage. The book assumes a mastery of the material in Vol. I, and the continued development of mathematical skills, including multivariable calculus and linear algebra. Several appendices provide important details, and any additional required mathematics. The reader should then find the text, together with the appendices and problems, to be self-contained. The aim is to cover the framework of modern theoretical physics in sufficient depth that things “make sense” to students, and, when finished, the reader should have an elementary working knowledge in the principal areas of theoretical physics of the twentieth century.

Quantum physics and special relativity theory were two of the greatest breakthroughs in physics during the twentieth century and contributed to paradigm shifts in physics. This book combines these two discoveries to provide a complete description of the fundamentals of relativistic quantum physics, guiding the reader effortlessly from relativistic quantum mechanics to basic quantum field theory. The book gives a thorough and detailed treatment of the subject, beginning with the classification of particles, the Klein–Gordon equation and the Dirac equation. It then moves on to the canonical quantization procedure of the Klein–Gordon, Dirac and electromagnetic fields. Classical Yang–Mills theory, the LSZ formalism, perturbation theory, elementary processes in QED are introduced, and regularization, renormalization and radiative corrections are explored. With exercises scattered through the text and problems at the end of most chapters, the book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in theoretical physics.
