This nontraditional text arose from the conviction that science and engineering students would benefit from an introductory course which covers all of physics from a modern point of view. The text takes the perspective of a modern particle physicist and is based more on wave dynamics and relativity than on classical mechanics. The subject matter is split into two volumes of twelve chapters each: • Volume 1 – Waves, including geometrical optics – Theory of relativity – Relativistic matter waves and quantum mechanics – Classical mechanics as the geometric optics limit of quantum mechanics • Volume 2 – Gravity – A treatment of electromagnetism which builds on relativity – Atomic, nuclear, and particle physics – Statistical mechanics and thermodynamics The result is a conceptually challenging but mathematically simple text which can be covered in two semesters or three quarters without omitting any content. Such a course has been offered for over ten years at New Mexico Tech to incoming physics majors and other interested students who are well prepared in high school physics and mathematics.

A Radically Modern Approach to Introductory Physics Volume 2: Four Forces

This text covers the theory and tools to analyze changes in long-term behavior of solutions to differential equations and iterative problems. Although much of the theory is the same for infinite dimensional problems, this book allows students with a background in linear algebra but not functional analysis to understand and use bifurcation theory.

Although wine has been made in New Mexico for hundreds of years, the modern wine industry in the state is young. This book has descriptions of tasting opportunities and notes on a couple of hundred wines. Plan your tasting tour in the beautiful state of New Mexico!
