Hi y’all!
I wrote and published a 100 page book “Introduction to Modern Physics”, ISBN 979-8849892566, which is available on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, and other distributors.
The book covers the subjects of Special Relativity, a brief intro to General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Particle Physics, and Astrophysics. It’s free in the kindle edition, and $11.04 for the paperback. I tried to make it as engaging as possible, being narrated by a cat and dog, but there are definitely things I could work on. If I ever feel motivated enough to edit the book, I’d attempt to make it slightly more mathematical. While the goal was purely in garnering interest for the subject, I do feel a formal perspective is helpful for understanding.
Mu main reason for writing the book was to incentivize better note-taking in my “Modern Physics” class at IMSA. I was lucky enough to study these topics before college, and thought publishing a book would be a nice exercise on creativity.
Specifically, I chose the self—publishing route because it is the fastest way to get the book to market! The internet is riddled with resources to publish through Amazon’s KDP, and it is a lot easier to work with than it sounds. Feel free to reach out if you have questions!
Here’s some sample pages!
