Beschreibung
This book is an English translation from a Hungarian book designed for graduate and postgraduate students about the use of variational principles in theoretical physics. Unlike many academic textbooks, it dashes across several lecture disciplines taught in physics courses. It emphasizes and demonstrates the use of the variational technique and philosophy behind the basic laws in mechanics, relativity theory, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics. The book is meant for advanced students and young researchers in theoretical physics but, also, more experienced researchers can benefit from its reading.
Provides the material to deepen courses in particle physics, general relativity, and group theory Presents several tricks and mathematical concepts to gain a better understanding of the variational principle This material is designed for students and has been tested in multiple courses
