Classical Covariant Fields (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)


Product Description
This book discusses the classical foundations of field theory, using the language of variational methods and covariance. It explores the limits of what can be achieved with purely classical notions, and shows how these classical notions have a deep and important connection with the second quantized field theory, which follows on from the Schwinger Action Principle. Its pragmatic view of field theory focuses on issues which are usually omitted from quantum field theory texts and catalogs results which are often hard to find in the literature.Classical Covariant Fields (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) Review
Graduate/professional level book which is more valuable than a treasure chest of gold coins. I've never seen such a comprehensive, well written and well notated physics book. It's so good I won't even try and talk about the details, since my words can't do it justice in a short space. If you read the product information and it seems to cover even one area you are interested in, then just buy it. Don't think (till you receive the book) - just buy it now! I bought the Kindle version and the notation seems accurate and looks good. I eventually will buy the hard cover book too, and this will then be the first time I bought both a printed version and Kindle version of the same book. Actually, I never even considered this as a sensible thing to do, - until seeing this book. I don't expect to ever do it again either.In case you can't tell ... I'm really impressed, and I own most every classic text on field theory, classical physics and action-Hamilton principles. I love them all, but now this one book heads the list as a classic, in my view. If you ever daydreamed about taking the best classics and combining them into one super-classic, forget about it and just buy this book.
