Classical Mathematical Physics : Dynamical Systems and Field Theories

This volume comprises all the material dealing with classical physics of Thirrings famous course in mathematical physics. The treatment of classical dynamical systems uses analysis on manifolds to provide the mathematical setting. The treatment of classical fields uses the language of differenial geometry throughout, treating both Maxwells and Einsteins equations in a compact and clear fashion. With numerous examples and remarks accompanying the text, it is suitable as a textbook for students in physics, mathematics, and applied mathematics.
