A set of lecture notes on quantum mechanics. It includes a review of classical mechanics and some of the necessary mathematics. It covers the harmonic oscillator, the hydrogen atom, angular momentum as well as topics such as symmetry with a discussion on periodic potentials, the relativistic electron, spin and scattering theory.

A book on gravitation that starts from a simple description of geometry. It includes topics that are systematically developed to the big bang theory with a simple derivation of the cosmic background temperature. It provides several informative examples that are worked out in detail.

Describes quantum field theory within the context of path integrals. With its utility in a variety of fields in physics, the subject matter is primarily developed within the context of quantum mechanics before going into specialized areas. This book also covers path integral quantization of gauge theories and anomalies, and more.

The original edition of Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics was used with great success for single-semester courses on nuclear and particle physics offered by American and Canadian universities at the undergraduate level. It was also translated into German, and used overseas.
