Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory: The Theoretical Minimum: The Theoretical Minimum

Autor Leonard Susskind, Art Friedman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 sep 2017
The third volume in the bestselling physics series cracks open Einstein's special relativity and field theory

Physicist Leonard Susskind and data engineer Art Friedman are back. This time, they introduce readers to Einstein's special relativity and Maxwell's classical field theory. Using their typical brand of real math, enlightening drawings, and humor, Susskind and Friedman walk us through the complexities of waves, forces, and particles by exploring special relativity and electromagnetism. It's a must-read for both devotees of the series and any armchair physicist who wants to improve their knowledge of physics' deepest truths.

Recenzii

"A true masterpiece that will stand the test of time. I only wish this book was around when I was learning classical physics.Special Relativity and Classical Field Theorywas joyful to read, filled with insights and secrets that will prepare you for research."

Stephon Alexander,,cosmologist at Brown University and author ofThe Jazz of Physics
"Thrilling...Susskind's approach is to subject the novice to a historical mathematical boot camp to make the path seem natural, and ultimately easier...At once witty and insightful."
Nature
"Susskind and Friedman follow their collaboration onQuantum Mechanicsby probing the mathematical nitty-gritty of field theory and Einstein's theory of special relativity in the third installment of theTheoretical Minimumseries...Enthusiastic discussion is seasoned with wry humor....Well paced.... Clear and concise."
Publishers Weekly
"Relativity and field theory are absolutely central to modern physics. Here they are explained masterfully, with insight and wit. This is physics the way it's really done, in all its glory, nothing swept under the rug."
