Description
This is a short, up-to-date introduction to the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions. It relies only on a knowledge of elementary quantum mechanics and relativity, as taught in undergraduate courses. The emphasis is on the interpretation of experimental observations in the light of general theoretical ideas, like symmetry principles and Feynman diagrams. A set of problems is provided for each chapter, with brief solutions at the end.
