商品描述

This first-year, graduate-level text and reference book covers the fundamental concepts and twenty-first-century applications of six major areas of classical physics that every masters- or PhD-level physicist should be exposed to, but often isn't: statistical physics, optics (waves of all sorts), elastodynamics, fluid mechanics, plasma physics, and special and general relativity and cosmology. Growing out of a full-year course that the eminent researchers Kip Thorne and Roger Blandford taught at Caltech for almost three decades, this book is designed to broaden the training of physicists. Its six main topical sections are also designed so they can be used in separate courses, and the book provides an invaluable reference for researchers.

 


  • Presents all the major fields of classical physics except three prerequisites: classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and elementary thermodynamics

  • Elucidates the interconnections between diverse fields and explains their shared concepts and tools

  • Focuses on fundamental concepts and modern, real-world applications

  • Takes applications from fundamental, experimental, and applied physics; astrophysics and cosmology; geophysics, oceanography, and meteorology; biophysics and chemical physics; engineering and optical science and technology; and information science and technology

  • Emphasizes the quantum roots of classical physics and how to use quantum techniques to elucidate classical concepts or simplify classical calculations

  • Features hundreds of color figures, some five hundred exercises, extensive cross-references, and a detailed index

  • An online illustration package is available to professors

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本首年級研究生教材和參考書涵蓋了六個主要領域的基本概念和21世紀應用,這些領域是每位碩士或博士級物理學家應該接觸到的,但通常卻沒有接觸到的:統計物理、光學(各種波)、彈性動力學、流體力學、等離子體物理以及特殊相對論、廣義相對論和宇宙學。這本書源於著名研究者Kip Thorne和Roger Blandford在加州理工學院教授了近三十年的一門全年課程,旨在擴大物理學家的培訓。它的六個主要主題部分也可以用於獨立的課程,並且本書為研究人員提供了寶貴的參考資料。

- 提供了除了三個先決條件(經典力學、電磁學和基礎熱力學)之外的所有主要經典物理領域。
- 闡明了不同領域之間的相互聯繫,並解釋了它們共享的概念和工具。
- 重點放在基本概念和現代實際應用上。
- 涵蓋了基礎、實驗和應用物理學;天體物理學和宇宙學;地球物理學、海洋學和氣象學;生物物理學和化學物理學;工程學和光學科學與技術;以及信息科學和技術。
- 強調了經典物理學的量子根源以及如何使用量子技術來闡明經典概念或簡化經典計算。
- 包含數百個彩色圖片、約五百個練習題、廣泛的交叉引用和詳細的索引。
- 教授可以獲得在線插圖套件。
