Series: Dover Books on Physics | Publication Date: February 4, 2008
This text concerns continuum mechanics, electrodynamics and the mechanics of electrically polarized media, and gravity. Its accessible approach formulates theories according to the principle of least action, a concise method that makes the physical content of classical subjects intelligible to advanced undergraduates and graduate students. 1976 edition.
This review is from: Classical Field Theory (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
This is a well written book on Classical Field Theory. Not for undergraduates, because a good knowledge on tensor calculus is required for being read without any difficulties. The subjects are given compactly, with the minimum and necessary formulations. Along the whole book the author gives the adequate physical view on the subjects, which is always very much appreciated.
