The series of texts on Classical Theoretical Physics is based on the highly successful courses given by Walter Greiner. The volumes provide a complete survey of classical theoretical physics and an enormous number of worked out examples and problems.
ClassicalMechanics is intended for students who have studied some mechanics in anintroductory physics course.With unusual clarity, the book covers most of the topics normally found in books at this level.
(7.97) This is the Rutherford-scattering differential-cross-section formula. Around 1910, Rutherford and his students bombarded metal foils with alpha particles. Their results for the distribution of scattering angles were consistent ...
It can be used to investigate the effect of oblateness on the motion of an artificial satellite about the Earth, ... principal application here, we will use it to investigate the rotational dynamics of natural satellites and planets.
The book aims to present a modern treatment of classical mechanical systems in such a way that the transition to the quantum theory of physics can be made with the least possible difficulty; to acquaint the student with new mathematical ...
Applications not usually taught in physics courses include theory of space-charge limited currents, atmospheric drag, motion of meteoritic dust, variational principles in rocket motion, transfer functions, much more. 1960 edition.
A master teacher presents the ultimate introduction to classical mechanics for people who are serious about learning physics "Beautifully clear explanations of famously 'difficult' things," -- Wall Street Journal If you ever regretted not ...
Differential equations and new mathematical methods are developed in the text as the occasion demands. The book begins by describing fundamental concepts, such as velocity and acceleration, upon which subsequent chapters build.
Newton's laws of motion and the law of gravitation KEY FEATURES The key features of this chapter are Newton's laws of motion, the definitions of mass and force,thelaw of gravitation,theprinciple of equivalence,andgravitation by spheres.
This book constructs the mathematical apparatus of classical mechanics from the beginning, examining basic problems in dynamics like the theory of oscillations and the Hamiltonian formalism.
If, however, we are concerned with the motions of a small body, or group of Small bodies, then we can often neglect its effect on other bodies, and in that case the two problems can be separated. For example, in discussing the motion of ...
