This book, along with the three other volumes, offers a clear and comprehensive approach to theoretical physics for the entire bachelor's program.
Highlights:
Theoretical derivations are linked with characteristic examples, their solutions, typical applications, and are clearly illustrated in diagrams. The required mathematics is derived within a physical context and explained transparently.
Contents:
Overview Kinematics Relative Motion Dynamics Applications of Newtonian Mechanics Relativistic Mechanics Formal Structure of Mechanics Applications of the Lagrange Formalism Dynamics in Phase Space
Target Audience:
This book is particularly suitable for first-year bachelor's students.
Prerequisites:
Mathematical prerequisites include knowledge in differentiation and integration.
The Author:
Wolfgang Cassing is a retired professor of theoretical physics at the Justus Liebig University in Gießen. His expertise lies in the phase space dynamics of classical and quantum mechanical many-particle systems, which is reflected in his textbook Transport Theories for Strongly-Interacting Systems. His present textbook series Theoretical Physics Compact also includes Electrodynamics, Quantum Mechanics, and Quantum Statistics and Thermodynamics.
