This book will explain how group theory underpins some of the key features of particle physics. It will examine symmetries and conservation laws in quantum mechanics and relate these to groups of transformations. Group theory provides the language for describing how particles (and in particular, their quantum numbers) combine. This provides understanding of hadronic physics as well as physics beyond the Standard Model. The symmetries of the Standard Model associated with the Electroweak and Strong (Qcd) forces are described by the groups U(1), Su(2) and Su(3). The properties of these groups are examined and the relevance to particle physics is discussed. Stephen Haywood, author of Symmetries And Conservation Laws In Particle Physics, explains how his book can help experimental physicists and PhD students understand group theory and particle physics in our new video! Review: Five Stars - This book helped me to understand the symmetry concepts that I was studying. Review: Good book - Good book, fast delivery.

God's Symmetry?
This is a very welcome if unusual - and thankfully brief - book. It explains everything very clearly and I only wish I had had it a few years ago when studying quantum field/particle physics for a masters degree. It's a pity the author has to bring in his Christian/religious beliefs - if only briefly. I find it just as irritating as the advanced physics books I have in which the authors introduce proverbs, religious quotations, or just dedications to family - again, briefly - in hebrew or arabic script. Is this to show some allegiance or another? At least the habit of many authors introducing their works with latin quotations - to show off their erudition? - is long gone
