Description

Make complex physics concepts accessible with A First Course in String Theory from Cambridge University Press. Author Barton Zwiebach focuses on making string theory understandable for undergraduates by presenting main concepts in a concrete and physical way. This approach helps students develop intuition before moving into formal mathematical theory through the use of simplified and illustrative examples. This new edition provides thorough coverage of the subject, including updated sections on AdS/CFT correspondence and the introduction of superstrings. It also features new content covering strings on orbifolds and cosmic topics. Designed specifically for introductory courses, this textbook is an ideal resource for students who possess a foundational background in mathematics and physics.
