Description
This volume brings together various interrelated topics in physics (such as Yang-Mills theory and electroweak theory) written at an elementary level. To allow sufficient flexibility in the learning process, instead of dwelling on the rigors in the main body of the text, it proves essential results in the form of hints to the exercises, and gives references to original works for detailed readings. This approach to exposition has enabled the book to present a comprehensive account of the subject in a packaged form, as should be evident from its contents. This book is targeted at an audience of advanced undergraduates, graduates, researchers in mathematics and physics and at a wider audience of inquisitive minds. It features more than 200 solved exercises.
