Geometric Mechanics: Toward a Unification of Classical Physics

Geometric Mechanics: Toward a Unification of Classical Physics Talman Richard (Cornell University USA) Wydawca: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH Data wydania: 2007 ISBN: 9783527406838 Liczba stron: 605 Format: 244 x 173 x 36 Rodzaj oprawy: Hardback Opis produktu: For physicists, mechanics is quite obviously geometric, yet the classical approach typically emphasizes abstract, mathematical formalism. Setting out to make mechanics both accessible and interesting for non-mathematicians, Richard Talman uses geometric methods to reveal qualitative aspects of the theory.
