Book Synopsis A First Course in Loop Quantum Gravity by : Rodolfo Gambini

Download or read book A First Course in Loop Quantum Gravity written by Rodolfo Gambini and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an accessible introduction to loop quantum gravity and some of its applications, at a level suitable for undergraduate students and others with only a minimal knowledge of college level physics. In particular it is not assumed that the reader is familiar with general relativity and only minimally familiar with quantum mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics. Most chapters end with problems that elaborate on the text, and aid learning. Applications such as loop quantum cosmology, black hole entropy and spin foams are briefly covered. The text is ideally suited for an undergraduate course in the senior year of a physics major. It can also be used to introduce undergraduates to general relativity and quantum field theory as part of a 'special topics' type of course.
