{"product_id":"symmetry-broken-symmetry-and-topology-mike-guidry-9781316518618","title":"Symmetry, Broken Symmetry, and Topology in Modern Physics: A First Course","description":"Written for use in teaching and for self-study, this book provides a comprehensive and pedagogical introduction to groups, algebras, geometry, and topology. It assimilates modern applications of these concepts, assuming only an advanced undergraduate preparation in physics. It provides a balanced view of group theory, Lie algebras, and topological concepts, while emphasizing a broad range of modern applications such as Lorentz and Poincaré invariance, coherent states, quantum phase transitions, the quantum Hall effect, topological matter, and Chern numbers, among many others. An example based approach is adopted from the outset, and the book includes worked examples and informational boxes to illustrate and expand on key concepts. 344 homework problems are included, with full solutions available to instructors, and a subset of 172 of these problems have full solutions available to students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Guidry, Yang Sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316518612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316518618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.80w x 1.20d","brand":"Mike Guidry","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44064124797183,"sku":"9781316518618","price":83.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_454ff6cb-1951-4551-921c-91b1eea9d592.jpg?v=1685393669","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/symmetry-broken-symmetry-and-topology-mike-guidry-9781316518618","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
