This book offers a fresh perspective on some of the central experimental and theoretical works that laid the foundations for today's quantum mechanics: It traces the theoretical and mathematical development of the hypotheses that put forward to explain puzzling experimental results;

Introducing readers to the beauty of classical field theory as a gem of theoretical physics, this textbook presents the theory of classical fields as a mathematical structure based solidly on laboratory experiments, with appendices full of mathematical proofs.

This advanced undergraduate textbook begins with the Lagrangian formulation of Analytical Mechanics and then passes directly to the Hamiltonian formulation and the canonical equations, with constraints incorporated through Lagrange multipliers.

Thermodynamics is not the oldest of sciences. Although I personally acknowledge with a deep gratitude the appreciation for thermodynamics that I found as an undergraduate, I also realize that my teachers did not convey to me the sweeping grandeur of thermodynamics.
