Introduction to Analytical Dynamics (Paperback, 2nd ed. 2009): Nicholas Woodhouse Introduction to Analytical Dynamics (Paperback, 2nd ed. 2009)
Nicholas Woodhouse
R1,502 Discovery Miles 15 020 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

First published in 1987, this text offers concise but clear explanations and derivations to give readers a confident grasp of the chain of argument that leads from Newton 's laws through Lagrange 's equations and Hamilton 's principle, to Hamilton 's equations and canonical transformations.

This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to include:

  • A chapter on symplectic geometry and the geometric interpretation of some of the coordinate calculations.
  • A more systematic treatment of the conections with the phase-plane analysis of ODEs; and an improved treatment of Euler angles.
  • A greater emphasis on the links to special relativity and quantum theory showing how ideas from this classical subject link into contemporary areas of mathematics and theoretical physics.

A wealth of examples show the subject in action and a range of exercises with solutions are provided to help test understanding.

Spezielle Relativitatstheorie (German, Paperback, 1. Aufl. 2016): Nicholas Woodhouse Spezielle Relativitatstheorie (German, Paperback, 1. Aufl. 2016)
Nicholas Woodhouse; Translated by Jurgen Kremer
R920 Discovery Miles 9 200 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Dieser Klassiker von Nicholas Woodhouse prasentiert die Spezielle Relativitatstheorie auf eine Art, die auf solider mathematischer Erfahrung aufbaut, aber weder einen umfangreichen Hintergrund in klassischer mathematischer Physik voraussetzt, noch einen langen Vorspann, der der Entwicklung neuer Werkzeuge, wie etwa der Tensor Analysis, gewidmet ist. Um die Relativitatstheorie verstehen zu koennen, muss ein klares geistiges Bild der Raumzeit entwickelt werden und nicht einfach eine Gewandtheit im Implementieren der Lorentz-Transformationen. Ein Leitmotiv des Buches besteht darin zu demonstrieren, dass Mathematik unseren Geist befreit, so dass wir die Welt, in der wir leben, uber die Grenzen unserer physikalischen Intuition hinaus erkunden koennen. Die deutsche UEbersetzung von Jurgen Kremer bewahrt den souveranen Stil des Autors.
