Describing the foundations of modern physics in their historical context and with some new derivations, Weinberg introduces topics ranging from early applications of atomic theory through thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, transport theory, special relativity, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and quantum field theory.
In the extended version of this textbook, Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics, we cover the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and their application to atomic and molecular physics, and we introduce solid-state physics, nuclear physics, particle physics, and cosmology.

HuEn(x) = En uEn(x) In general, there will be both bound-state and continuum solutions to this equation. With the choice of periodic boundary conditions in the continuum, the hamiltonian is hermitian (P robI. 4 .5 ), and the energy eigenvalues En are real (P robI. 4 .6 ).
This book is intended as a modern physics text for science majors and engi- neering students who have already completed an introductory calculus-based physics course.
