In Introduction to Elementary Particles, Second, Revised Edition, author David Griffiths strikes a balance between quantitative rigor and intuitive understanding, using a lively, informal style. The first chapter provides a detailed historical introduction to the subject, while subsequent chapters offer a quantitative presentation of the Standard Model. A simplified introduction to the Feynman rules, based on a "toy" model, helps readers learn the calculational techniques without the complications of spin. It is followed by accessible treatments of quantum electrodynamics, the strong and weak interactions, and gauge theories. New chapters address neutrino oscillations and prospects for physics beyond the Standard Model. The book contains a number of worked examples and many end-of-chapter problems. A complete solution manual is available for instructors.

Ever wished you could learn C from a book? Head First C provides a complete learning experience for C and structured imperative programming. With a unique method that goes beyond syntax and how-to manuals, this guide not only teaches you the language, it helps you understand how to be a great programmer. You'll learn key areas such as language basics, pointers and pointer arithmetic, and dynamic memory management. Advanced topics include multi-threading and network programming - topics typically covered on a college-level course. This book also features labs: in-depth projects intended to stretch your abilities, test your new skills, and build confidence. Head First C mimics the style of college-level C courses, making it ideal as an accessible textbook for students. We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, Head First C uses a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.

Looking for a reliable way to learn how to program on your own, without being overwhelmed by confusing concepts? "Head First Programming" introduces the core concepts of writing computer programs - variables, decisions, loops, functions, and objects - which apply regardless of the programming language. This book offers concrete examples and exercises in the dynamic and versatile Python language to demonstrate and reinforce these concepts. You can learn the basic tools to start writing the programs that interest you, and get a better understanding of what software can (and cannot) do. When you're finished, you'll have the necessary foundation to learn any programming language or tackle any software project you choose. With a focus on programming concepts, this book teaches you how to: understand the core features of all programming languages, including variables, statements, decisions, loops, expressions, and operators; reuse code with functions; use library code to save time and effort; select the best data structure to manage complex data; write programs that talk to the Web; share your data with other programs; and, write programs that test themselves and help you avoid embarrassing coding errors. We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, "Head First Programming" uses a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.

《深入浅出程序设计(中文版)》介绍了编写计算机程序的核心概念：变量、判断、循环、函数与对象——无论运用哪种编程语言，都能在动态且多用途的python语言中使用具体示例和练习来运用并巩固这些概念。学习基本的工具来开始编写你感兴趣的程序，而不是其他人认为你应该使用的通用软件，并对软件能做什么（不能做什么）有一个更好的了解。当你完成这些，你就拥有了必要的基础去使用任何一种你需要或想要学习的语言或软件项目。《深入浅出程序设计（中文版）》的特别之处在于：我们认为你的时间如此宝贵以至于不应该花费在为新概念伤脑筋上面。《深入浅出程序设计》用最新的认知科学和学习理论打造多感官的学习体验，运用适合大脑工作方式的直观的格式编排，而不是令人昏昏欲睡的密密麻麻的文字。

Figure its about time that you hop on the Ruby on Rails bandwagon? You've heard that it'll increase your productivity exponentially, and allow you to created full fledged web applications with minimal headaches...but you don't know where to start? "Head First Ruby on Rails" is the book for you. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory, "Head First Ruby on Rails" is a multi-sensory experience designed for the way that your brain works.
