Dynamics and Relativity

Informationen zum Autor Dr Jeff Forshaw , Department of Physics & Astronomy, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, UK. Dr Gavin Smith , Department of Physics & Astronomy, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, UK. Klappentext A new title in the Manchester Physics Series, this introductory text emphasises physical principles behind classical mechanics and relativity. It assumes little in the way of prior knowledge, introducing relevant mathematics and carefully developing it within a physics context. Designed to provide a logical development of the subject, the book is divided into four sections, introductory material on dynamics, and special relativity, which is then followed by more advanced coverage of dynamics and special relativity. Each chapter includes problems ranging in difficulty from simple to challenging with?solutions for solving problems. Includes?solutions for solving problemsNumerous worked examples included throughout the bookMathematics is carefully explained and developed within a physics environmentSensitive to topics that can appear daunting or confusing Zusammenfassung Emphasizing physical principles behind classical mechanics and relativity! this new title in the Manchester Physics Series introduces relevant mathematics and carefully develops it as needed within a physics context. Each chapter includes problems ranging in difficulty from simple to challenging with hints for solving problems.
