Relativity Lite - A Pictorial Translation of Einstein’s Theories of Motion and Gravity
Jack C. Straton · Portland State University
Relativity Lite is designed for courses like my 100-student General Astronomy sequence. Relativity Lite translates the mathematical equations conventional relativity texts rely upon into pictures that are readily understood and contain within them the mathematical essentials. This new book would provide the comprehensive coverage needed to understand, in sufficient depth, these three linked areas of our reality.

Introductory Quantum Mechanics
Richard Fitzpatrick · University of Texas at Austin
This book is intendedas an introductory course on non-relativistic quantum mechanics. Readers need to be reasonably familiar with Newtonian dynamics, elementary classical electromagnetism and special relativity, the physics and mathematics of waves (including the representation of waves via complex functions), basic probability theory, ordinary and partial differential equations, linear algebra, vector algebra, and Fourier series and transforms.
