This book is an introductory course on quantum theory accessible to anyone who is interested in obtaining an insider's knowledge of the subject, but who may not have studied physics at the college level. No mathematics is required beyond middle school algebra. Exercises are provided throughout the book, with answers at the back. This book can be used for self-study or as a textbook in an undergraduate or high school curriculum. Contents: IntroductionNewtonian PhysicsStatistical MechanicsThe Concept of a FieldThe Ultraviolet CatastropheAbsorption and Emission of RadiationMatter WavesThe Special Theory of RelativityThe Geometry of Space and TimeThe Heart of Quantum TheoryAngular Momentum and SpinQuantum Theory and RelativityTunneling: Quantum Magic?The Spatial Wave FunctionConclusion Readership: Undergraduate or high-school students and readers interested in quantum theory.Quantum;Physics;Theory0 Key Features: Trains the reader to do quantum theory without the need for learning calculus or linear algebraDevelops the theory directly from the historical experiments and shows how the abstraction of quantum theory is experimentally verifiableBased on a course that was developed and taught successfully at the undergraduate level
