This is a textbook that derives the fundamental theories of physics from symmetry.   It starts by introducing, in a completely self-contained way, all mathematical tools needed to use symmetry ideas in physics. Thereafter, these tools are put into action and by using symmetry constraints, the fundamental equations of Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, Electromagnetism, and Classical Mechanics are derived. As a result, the reader is able to understand the basic assumptions behind, and the connections between the modern theories of physics. The book concludes with first applications of the previously derived equations.

Auf der Basis von Symmetrie-Überlegungen bietet dieses Buch eine einzigartige Herleitung der fundamentalen Theorien der Physik. Dafür werden zunächst alle mathematische Werkzeuge eingeführt, die der Leser benötigt, um mit Symmetrien in der Physik zu arbeiten. Hierbei wird jedoch nur gewöhnliche Schulmathematik vorausgesetzt. Anschließend werden diese Werkzeuge benutzt, um durch Symmetrie-Überlegungen die fundamentalen Gleichungen der Quantenmechanik, Quantenfeldtheorie, Elektrodynamik und Klassischen Mechanik herzuleiten. So ist der Leser in der Lage, die Basis-Annahmen hinter und die Verbindungen zwischen den modernen Theorien der Physik zu verstehen. Im letzten Teil des Buches werden dann Anwendungen der zuvor hergeleiteten Gleichungen besprochen. Das Buch richtet sich an alle, die sich ein tieferes Verständnis der modernen Physik wünschen. Anfänger und Selbstlerner erhalten durch die "Symmetrie-Perspektive" einen schnellen, aber tiefen Überblick über die moderne Physik. Erfahrene Studierende können durch den unkonventionellen Blickwinkel ihr Verständnis vertiefen und Wissenslücken füllen. Nachdem das Buch "Physics From Symmetry" Leser in aller Welt begeisterte, erscheint nun mit "Durch Symmetrie die moderne Physik verstehen" eine verbesserte deutsche Version.
