Wolfgang Cassing: Theoretical Physics Compact I, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

This book, along with the three other volumes, offers a clear and comprehensive approach to theoretical physics for the entire bachelor's program.

Highlights:

Theoretical derivations are linked with characteristic examples, their solutions, typical applications, and are clearly illustrated in diagrams. The required mathematics is derived within a physical context and explained transparently.

Contents:

Overview -- Kinematics -- Relative Motion -- Dynamics -- Applications of Newtonian Mechanics -- Relativistic Mechanics -- Formal Structure of Mechanics -- Applications of the Lagrange Formalism -- Dynamics in Phase Space

Target Audience:

This book is particularly suitable for first-year bachelor's students.

Prerequisites:

Mathematical prerequisites include knowledge in differentiation and integration.

The Author:

Wolfgang Cassing is a retired professor of theoretical physics at the Justus Liebig University in Gießen. His expertise lies in the phase space dynamics of classical and quantum mechanical many-particle systems, which is reflected in his textbook Transport Theories for Strongly-Interacting Systems. His present textbook series Theoretical Physics Compact also includes Electrodynamics, Quantum Mechanics, and Quantum Statistics and Thermodynamics.
