About this title

Review

'I am very impressed with this book. It is a beautifully clear and concise introductory text ... for a first course in the basic physics of the standard model this book would be an excellent choice. Both experimental and theoretical students would benefit from it.' Neil Turok, The Observatory

'It is fun to read this book!' Evelyn Weimar-Woods, Zentralblatt für Mathematik

Book Description

This introductory graduate textbook provides a concise but accessible introduction to the current understanding of particle physics. Only an undergraduate background in mathematics is assumed, and each chapter is rounded off with a set of problems and outline solutions. It provides a lucid introduction for graduate students in particle physics and an up-to-date overview for physicists working in other fields.
