Course Of Theoretical Physics, Vol. 2 Classical Theory Of Fields (PAPERBACK) | Released: 01 Jan 2010

Product Overview & Details

The Classical Theory of Fields is the second volume of the renowned Landau and Lifshitz Course of Theoretical Physics series. It is a classic advanced textbook covering the foundations of relativistic mechanics, electromagnetic fields, special relativity, and general relativity.

The book develops field theory using a mathematically elegant and concise approach. It begins with the principles of relativity and relativistic particle dynamics, then progresses to electromagnetic theory in covariant form and finally introduces Einstein’s theory of gravitation. The text is recognized for its compact style, deep physical insight, and challenging problem sets.

The revised fourth edition includes expanded discussions on general relativity, gravitational waves, and relativistic cosmology, along with additional sections and problems.
