SynopsisThis text concerns continuum mechanics, electrodynamics and the mechanics of electrically polarized media, and gravity. Its accessible approach formulates theories according to the principle of least action, a concise method that makes the physical content of classical subjects intelligible to advanced undergraduates and graduate students. 1976 edition., Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this text offers an accessible approach to continuum mechanics, electrodynamics and the mechanics of electrically polarized media, and gravity. 1976 edition., This text concerns continuum mechanics, electrodynamics and the mechanics of electrically polarized media, and gravity. Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, it offers an accessible approach that formulates theories according to the principle of least action. The chief advantage of this formulation is its simplicity and ease, making the physical content of classical subjects available to students of physics in a concise form. Author Davison E. Soper, a Professor of Physics at the University of Oregon, intended this treatment as a primary text for courses in classical field theory as well as a supplement for courses in classical mechanics or classical electrodynamics. Topics include fields and transformation laws, the principle of stationary action, general features of classical field theory, the mechanics of fluids and elastic solids, special types of solids, nonrelativistic approximations, and the electromagnetic field. Additional subjects include electromagnetically polarized materials, gravity, momentum conservation in general relativity, and dissipative processes.

Delivers what title would suggest... Little heavy going in places...
Inexpensive option to delve into content found in this old Dover edition... Notation takes some getting used to... Like Harley Flanders in his Tensors and Differential Forms book... Problems - BUT NO solutions - Bummers... If you can master (have need for all the material...) then you will be way ahead of the game towards a masters degree in physics to say the least... Just have tenacity and pencil & paper to do some real mathematics.. No goofing off allowed here... Pays your money - takes your chances... This is not a watered down popular science expose - its got the beef... Would have got a 5*** if some hints or solutions...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
