A Standard Model Workbook

“Moore blends clear and efficient prose with well-chosen exercises that are an essential part of the exposition, helping students build both fluency with the concepts and facility with the calculations. This workbook guides the student from first steps to the sort of mastery through computation that is prized by working physicists.” –William Loinaz, Amherst College

Thomas A. Moore is a professor in the physics department of Pomona College. He graduated from Carleton College in 1976, and earned an M. Phil. in 1978 and a Ph. D. in 1981 from Yale University. He then taught at Carleton College and Luther College before taking his current position at Pomona College in 1987, where he won a Wig Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1991. He served as an active member of the national Introductory University Physics Project (IUPP), and has published a number of articles about astrophysical sources of gravitational waves, detection of gravitational waves, and new approaches to teaching physics. His previous books include A Traveler’s Guide to Spacetime (1995) on special relativity, and a six-volume introductory calculus-based physics text called Six Ideas That Shaped Physics (2003).
