Variational principles have proven to be surprisingly fertile. For
example, Fermat used variational methods to demonstrate that light
follows the fastest route from one point to another, an idea which
came to be a cornerstone of geometrical optics. This book explains
variational principles and charts their use throughout modern
physics. It examines the analytical mechanics of Lagrange and
Hamilton, the basic tools of any physicist. The book also offers
simple but rich first impressions of Einstein’s General
Relativity, Feynman’s Quantum Mechanics, and more that reveal
amazing interconnections between various fields of physics.
