Theoretical Physics Compact I

This book, along with the three other volumes, offers a clear and comprehensive approach to theoretical physics for the entire bachelor's program.Highlights:Theoretical derivations are linked with characteristic examples, their solutions, typical applications, and are clearly illustrated in diagrams. The required mathematics is derived within a physical context and explained transparently.Contents:Overview – Kinematics – Relative Motion – Dynamics – Applications of Newtonian Mechanics – Relativistic Mechanics – Formal Structure of Mechanics – Applications of the Lagrange Formalism – Dynamics in Phase SpaceTarget Audience:This book is particularly suitable for first-year bachelor's students.Prerequisites:Mathematical prerequisites include knowledge in differentiation and integration.The Author:Wolfgang Cassing is a retired professor of theoretical physics at the Justus Liebig University in Gießen. His expertise lies in the phase space dynamics of classical and quantum mechanical many-particle systems, which is reflected in his textbook Transport Theories for Strongly-Interacting Systems. His present textbook series Theoretical Physics Compact also includes Electrodynamics, Quantum Mechanics, and Quantum Statistics and Thermodynamics.
