The first part deals with basic ideas, reviewing special relativity and electromagnetism while introducing the concept of extra dimensions. D-branes and the classical dynamics of relativistic strings are discussed next, and the quantization of open and closed bosonic strings in the light-cone gauge, along with a brief introduction to superstrings. The second part begins with a detailed study of D-branes followed by string thermodynamics. It discusses possible physical applications, and covers T-duality of open and closed strings, electromagnetic fields on D-branes, Born\/Infeld electrodynamics, covariant string quantization and string interactions. Primarily aimed as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses, it will also be ideal for a wide range of scientists and mathematicians who are curious about string theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51880924053792,"sku":"NEW0521831431","price":73.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71rRg2a7gXL.jpg?v=1781813468","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-first-course-in-string-theory-0521831431","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
