Symmetry and the Standard Model

Mathematics and Particle Physics

Provides the mathematical and physical groundwork of particle

physics

Introduces the standard model in an insightful and elementary way

Contains clear, intuitive explanations and plenty of examples

While elementary particle physics is an extraordinarily fascinating field, the huge amount

of knowledge necessary to perform cutting-edge research poses a formidable challenge

for students. The leap from the material contained in the standard graduate course

sequence to the frontiers of M-theory, for example, is tremendous. To make substantial

contributions to the field, students must first confront a long reading list of texts on

quantum field theory, general relativity, gauge theory, particle interactions, conformalfield theory, and string theory. Moreover, waves of new mathematics are required at each

stage, spanning a broad set of topics including algebra, geometry, topology, and analysis.

Symmetry and the Standard Model: Mathematics and Particle Physics, by Matthew

Robinson, is the first volume of a series intended to teach math in a way that is catered to

physicists. Following a brief review of classical physics at the undergraduate level and a

preview of particle physics from an experimentalist's perspective, the text systematically

lays the mathematical groundwork for an algebraic understanding of the Standard

Model of Particle Physics. It then concludes with an overview of the extensions of the

previous ideas to physics beyond the Standard Model. The text is geared toward advanced

undergraduate students and first-year graduate students.
