Theoretical Physics: A Primer for Philosophers of Science
Vol 13, No 2 (2009) • Principia: an international journal of epistemology
Autor: Francisco Antonio Doria
Abstract:
We give a overview of the main areas in theoretical physics, with emphasis on their relation to Lagrangian formalism in classical mechanics. This review covers classical mechanics; the road from classical mechanics to Schrodinger's quantum mechanics; electromagnetism, special and general relativity, and (very briefly) gauge field theory and the Higgs mechanism. We shun mathematical rigor in favor of a straightforward presentation.
