Analytical and Numerical Approaches to Mathematical Relativity - Frauendiener J., Giulini D.J.W., Perlick V.

General relativity ranks among the most accurately tested fundamental theories in all of physics. Deficiencies in mathematical and conceptual understanding still exist, hampering further progress. This book collects surveys by experts in mathematical relativity writing about the current status of, and problems in, their fields. There are four...

Greiner W. Classical Mechanics. Systems of Particles and Hamiltonian Dynamics (2nd., Spriner, 2009)

More than a generation of German-speaking students around the world have worked their way to an understanding and appreciation of the power and beauty of modernt- oretical physics—with mathematics, the most fundamental of sciences—using Walter Greiner’s textbooks as their guide. The idea of developing a coherent, complete presentation of an entire...

Greiner W., Mueller B. Gauge Theory of Weak Interactions (4ed., Springer, 2009)

"Gauge Theory of Weak Interactions" treats the unification of electromagnetic and weak interactions and considers related phenomena. First, the Fermi theory of beta decay is presented, followed by a discussion of parity violation, clarifying the importance of symmetries. Then the concept of a spontaneously broken gauge theory is introduced, and...

Practical Relativity: From First Principles to the Theory of Gravity - Richard N. Henriksen

The book is intended to serve as lecture material for courses on relativity at undergraduate level. Although there has been much written on special relativity the present book will emphasize the real applications of relativity. In addition, it will be physically designed with the use of box summaries so as to allow easy access of practical results....

Space-Time, Relativity, and Cosmology Hardcover by Jose Wudka

Space-Time, Relativity, and Cosmology provides a historical introduction to modern relativistic cosmology and traces its historical roots and evolution from antiquity to Einstein. The topics are presented in a non-mathematical manner, with the emphasis on the ideas that underlie each theory rather than their detailed quantitative consequences....

Solved Problems in Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics (Grenoble Sciences) Claude Gignoux

The aim of this work is to bridge the gap between the well-known Newtonian mechanics and the studies on chaos, ordinarily reserved to experts. Several topics are treated: Lagrangian, Hamiltonian and Jacobi formalisms, studies of integrable and quasi-integrable systems. The chapter devoted to chaos also enables a simple presentation of the KAM...
