Inglese · Copertina rigida

Descrizione

Ulteriori informazioni

Dieses Lehrbuch bietet eine in sich abgeschlossene Darstellung der in der Physik angewandten mathematischen Methoden. Es umfaßt den Stoff einer zweisemestrigen Vorlesung, wobei lediglich Kenntnisse der Grundlagen der Physik, Differential- und Integralrechnung und analytischen Mechanik vorausgesetzt werden.Aufgaben mit zugehörigen Lösungen bieten eine Fülle von Material für Seminare und Übungen. Am Ende eines jeden Kapitels finden sich Probleme, die zur vertiefenden Behandlung des Stoffes anregen sollen.Zahlreiche Abbildungen, Diagramme und tabellarische Darstellungen fassen den vermittelten Stoff noch einmal zusammen und tragen so zum besseren Verständnis bei.Auch für den Ingenieur, der sich mit physikalischen Problemen beschäftigt, oder den Physiker in Forschung und Praxis kann diese grundlegende Lehrbuch als Nachschlagewerk dienen.
