Produktbeschreibung

This volume comprises all the material dealing with classical physics of Thirring's famous course in mathematical physics. The treatment of classical dynamical systems uses analysis on manifolds to provide the mathematical setting. The treatment of classical fields uses the language of differenial geometry throughout, treating both Maxwell's and Einstein's equations in a compact and clear fashion. With numerous examples and remarks accompanying the text, it is suitable as a textbook for students in physics, mathematics, and applied mathematics.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"... A complete book in classical field theory. Moreover it is very interesting to see the geometry of relativity. I highly recommend this book for the theoretical physicists and mathematicians interested in physics. In short this is a very useful book." H. Cebeci, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey
