Lagrangian Interaction

Download or read book Lagrangian Interaction written by Noel Doughty and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to Lagrangian mechanics, starting with Newtonian physics and proceeding to topics such as relativistic Lagrangian fields and Lagrangians in General Relativity, electrodynamics, Gauge theory, and relativistic gravitation. The mathematical notation used is introduced and explained as the book progresses, so it can be understood by students at the undergraduate level in physics or applied mathmatics, yet it is rigorous enough to serve as an introduction to the mathematics and concepts required for courses in relativistic quantum field theory and general relativity.
