Description
Classical Field Theory provides an accessible approach to understanding fundamental concepts in physics, including continuum mechanics, electrodynamics, and gravity. Formulated according to the principle of least action, this treatment offers a concise and simplified explanation of classical subjects.
The book covers various topics, including fields and transformation laws, the principle of stationary action, and the mechanics of fluids and elastic solids. It also explores special types of solids, nonrelativistic approximations, and the electromagnetic field, as well as additional subjects such as electromagnetically polarized materials and gravity.
Written by Professor Davison E. Soper, this text is geared towards advanced undergraduates and graduate students, serving as a primary resource for courses in classical field theory or a supplement to courses in classical mechanics or classical electrodynamics.
