  • Fundamental Principles Of Classical Mechanics: A Geometrical Perspective

    by Kai S Lam ...
    This book is written with the belief that classical mechanics, as a theoretical discipline, possesses an inherent beauty, depth, and richness that far transcends its immediate applications in mechanical systems. These properties are manifested, by and large, through the coherence and elegance of the mathematical structure underlying the discipline, and are eminently worthy of being communicated to ...

  • Topics In Contemporary Mathematical Physics (Second Edition)

    by Kai S Lam ...
    This new (second) edition contains a general treatment of quantum field theory (QFT) in a simple scalar field setting in addition to the modern material on the applications of differential geometry and topology, group theory, and the theory of linear operators to physics found in the first edition. All these are introduced without assuming more background on the part of the reader than a good ... Read more

  • Classical Mechanics

    Theory and Mathematical Modeling

    by Emmanuele DiBenedetto ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Classical mechanics is a chief example of the scientific method organizing a "complex" collection of information into theoretically rigorous, unifying principles; in this sense, mechanics represents one of the highest forms of mathematical modeling. This textbook covers standard topics of a mechanics course, namely, the mechanics of rigid bodies, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism, stability and ... Read more

  • Classical Mechanics with Maxima

    by Todd Keene Timberlake, J. Wilson Mixon ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book guides undergraduate students in the use of Maxima—a computer algebra system—in solving problems in classical mechanics. It functions well as a supplement to a typical classical mechanics textbook.When it comes to problems that are too difficult to solve by hand, computer algebra systems that can perform symbolic mathematical manipulations are a valuable tool. Maxima is particularly ... Read more

  • Geometric Algebra for Physicists

    by Chris Doran, Anthony Lasenby ...
    Geometric algebra is a powerful mathematical language with applications across a range of subjects in physics and engineering. This book is a complete guide to the current state of the subject with early chapters providing a self-contained introduction to geometric algebra. Topics covered include new techniques for handling rotations in arbitrary dimensions, and the links between rotations, ... Read more

  • Neoclassical Physics

    by Mark A. Cunningham ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this introductory text, physics concepts are introduced as a means of understanding experimental observations, not as a sequential list of facts to be memorized. The book is structured around the key scientific discoveries that led to much of our current understanding of the universe. Numerous exercises are provided that utilize Mathematica software to help students explore how the language of ... Read more

  • The Geometry of Physics

    An Introduction

    by Theodore Frankel ...
    This book provides a working knowledge of those parts of exterior differential forms, differential geometry, algebraic and differential topology, Lie groups, vector bundles and Chern forms that are essential for a deeper understanding of both classical and modern physics and engineering. Included are discussions of analytical and fluid dynamics, electromagnetism (in flat and curved space), ... Read more

  • Introduction To Lagrangian Mechanics, An (2nd Edition)

    by Alain J Brizard ...
    An Introduction to Lagrangian Mechanics begins with a proper historical perspective on the Lagrangian method by presenting Fermat's Principle of Least Time (as an introduction to the Calculus of Variations) as well as the principles of Maupertuis, Jacobi, and d'Alembert that preceded Hamilton's formulation of the Principle of Least Action, from which the Euler-Lagrange equations of motion are ...

  • Mechanics

    An Intensive Course

    by Masud Chaichian, Ioan Merches, Anca Tureanu ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Mechanics is one of the oldest and at the same time newest disciplines, in the sense that there are methods and principles developed first in mechanics but now widely used in almost all branches of physics: electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, classical and quantum field theory, special and general theory of relativity, etc. More than that, there are some formalisms like Lagrangian and Hamiltonian ...
