Geometric Mechanics: Toward a Unification of Classical Physics
by Richard Talman
On This Page
Description
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. He introduces concepts from differential geometry, differential forms, and tensor analysis, then applies them to areas of classical mechanics as well as other areas of physics, including show more optics, crystal diffraction, electromagnetism, relativity, and quantum mechanics. For easy reference, the show lessTags
