Theory of Physics, Volumes 3 & 4 Noah M MacKay

Thousands of years ago, ancient civilizations once called natural phenomena divine intervention. But the philosophical thinkers approached myth with logic, and from this scientific discovery was born. From Planck to Einstein to Hawking, from Bohr to Schrödinger to Dirac, nature was described by modernized laws of physics and quantum mechanics: branches of physics involving the relativistic and non-relativistic motions of subatomic particles and the redefinition of gravity. This two-volume set, intended for physics students and science enthusiasts alike, delves into topics such as general relativity, black holes and gravitational waves, basic and advanced quantum mechanics. The book also assumes readers are familiar with calculus (introductory and advanced). Mathematical introductions and problems are provided.
