  • The Principle of Least Action

    History and Physics

    by Alberto Rojo, Anthony Bloch ...
    The principle of least action originates in the idea that, if nature has a purpose, it should follow a minimum or critical path. This simple principle, and its variants and generalizations, applies to optics, mechanics, electromagnetism, relativity, and quantum mechanics, and provides an essential guide to understanding the beauty of physics. This unique text provides an accessible introduction to ... Read more

  • An Introduction to Differential Geometry - With the Use of Tensor Calculus

    by Luther Pfahler Eisenhart ...
    Since 1909, when my Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces was published, the tensor calculus, which had previously been invented by Ricci, was adopted by Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity, and has been developed further in the study of Riemannian Geometry and various generalizations of the latter. In the present book the tensor calculus of cuclidean 3-space is developed and then ... Read more

  • Vector Analysis and Quaternions

    by Alexander Macfarlane ...
    Vector Analysis and Quaternions by Alexander MacfarlaneBy “Vector Analysis” is meant a space analysis in which the vector is the fundamental idea; by “Quaternions” is meant a space-analysis in which the quaternion is the fundamental idea. They are in truth complementary parts of one whole; and in this chapter they will be treated as such, and developed so as to harmonize with one another and with ... Read more

  • Emmy Noether's Wonderful Theorem

    by Dwight E. Neuenschwander ...
    One of the most important—and beautiful—mathematical solutions ever devised, Noether’s theorem touches on every aspect of physics."In the judgment of the most competent living mathematicians, Fräulein Noether was the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began."—Albert EinsteinThe year was 1915, and the young mathematician Emmy Noether ...

  • Introduction to Tensor Analysis and the Calculus of Moving Surfaces

    by Pavel Grinfeld ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This textbook is distinguished from other texts on the subject by the depth of the presentation and the discussion of the calculus of moving surfaces, which is an extension of tensor calculus to deforming manifolds.Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this text invites its audience to take a fresh look at previously learned material through the prism of tensor calculus. Once ... Read more

  • Special Relativity: A First Encounter

    100 years since Einstein

    by Domenico Giulini ...
    Special relativity provides the foundations of our knowledge of space and time. Without it, our understanding of the world, and its place in the universe, would be unthinkable. This book gives a concise, elementary, yet exceptionally modern, introduction to special relativity. It is a gentle yet serious 'first encounter', in that it conveys a true understanding rather than purely reports the basic ... Read more

  • Lectures On Quantum Mechanics - Volume 3: Perturbed Evolution

    by Berthold-georg Englert ...
    Note: The three volumes are not sequential but rather independent of each other and largely self-contained.Perturbed Evolution has a closer link to Simple Systems than that volume has to Basic Matters, but any reader familiar with the subject matter of a solid introduction to quantum mechanics - such as Dirac's formalism of kets and bras, Schrödinger's and Heisenberg's equations of motion, and the ...

  • Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics

    Collected Papers on Quantum Philosophy

    by J. S. Bell ...
    John Bell, FRS was one of the leading expositors and interpreters of modern quantum theory. He is particularly famous for his discovery of the crucial difference between the predictions of conventional quantum mechanics and the implications of local causality, a concept insisted on by Einstein. John Bell's work played a major role in the development of our current understanding of the profound ... Read more

  • Quantum Field Theory

    by Lewis H. Ryder ...
    This book is a modern pedagogic introduction to the ideas and techniques of quantum field theory. After a brief overview of particle physics and a survey of relativistic wave equations and Lagrangian methods, the quantum theory of scalar and spinor fields, and then of gauge fields, is developed. The emphasis throughout is on functional methods, which have played a large part in modern field theory ... Read more
