To move from empirical-based physics to the theoretical abstractness required for advanced physics requires a paradigmatic shift in logic that can challenge even the brightest mind. Grasping the play of phenomena as they are described in introductory compendiums does not necessarily create a foundation that allows for the building of a bridge to the higher levels of theoretical physics.Serving as a supplement to the standard advanced physics syllabus, this work provided a succinct review of course material, while encouraging the development of a more cohesive understanding of theoretical physics. Now, in the year 2005 the two authors have revised and updated their original work to produce a second edition. «
