Mathematical Methods of Classical Physics
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-56462-3 (ISBN)
As a starting point, Newtonian mechanics is introduced and its limitations are discussed. This leads to and motivates the study of different formulations of classical mechanics, such as Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, which are the subjects of later chapters.
In the second part, a chapter on classical field theories introduces more advanced material. Numerous exercises are collected in the appendix.
Introduction.- Lagrangian mechanics.- Hamiltonian mechanics.- Hamilton-Jacobi theory.- Classical field theory.- Exercises.- References.- Index.
"This book is mainly addressed to mathematicians. ... with this book you learn how to (re)formulate physics in a new perspective, in terms of differential geometry, and in a more rigorous way. ... this is a very good book for students in an advanced course in mathematical physics, but also a good reference book for researchers interested in the subject." (Giuseppe Nardelli, Mathematical Reviews, November, 2017)
