Our website devoted to
teaching "Symmetry" in the introductory
physics curriculum is currently undergoing renovation.
Our book, "Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe," deals with
all of the major topics of modern and classical
physics through Symmetry. It
provides an excellent biographical chapter of the greatest
female mathematician and theoretical
physicist who ever lived, Emmy Noether.
If you are interested in learning about superstrings, modern
cosmology, quarks, and black holes, then you
may want to start with this book.
This also provides an ideal introduction
to the subject of physics for non-physics majors, or
students thinking about a career in science or mathematics.
We plan to supplement the book for educators and students
with problem sets
and solutions, and additional chapters and explanations
of many things that were not used in the book. Feel free to post
your suggestions on our guestbook, or send us email.
