These notes are designed as a text book for a course on the Modern
Physics Theory for undergraduate students. The purpose is providing
a rigorous and self-contained presentation of the simplest
theoretical framework using elementary mathematical tools. A number
of examples of relevant applications and an appropriate list of
exercises and answered questions are also given. The first part is
devoted to Special Relativity concerning in particular space-time
relativity and relativistic kinematics. The second part deals with
Schroedinger's formulation of quantum mechanics. The presentation
concerns mainly one dimensional problems, in particular tunnel
effect, discrete energy levels and band spectra. The third part
concerns the application of Gibbs statistical methods to quantum
systems and in particular to Bose and Fermi gasses.
