Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory: The Theoretical Minimum by Leonar

Description: Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory by Leonard Susskind, Art Friedman The third volume in the bestselling physics series cracks open Einsteins special relativity and field theory Physicist Leonard Susskind and data engineer Art Friedman are back. This time, they introduce readers to Einsteins special relativity and Maxwells classical field theory. Using their typical brand of real math, enlightening drawings, and humor, Susskind and Friedman walk us through the complexities of waves, forces, and particles by exploring special relativity and electromagnetism. Its a must-read for both devotees of the series and any armchair physicist who wants to improve their knowledge of physics deepest truths. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor in Theoretical Physics at Stanford University. He is the author of Quantum Mechanics (with Art Friedman) and The Theoretical Minimum (with George Hrabovsky), among other books. He lives in Palo Alto, California. Art Friedman is a data consultant and the author of Quantum Mechanics (with Leonard Susskind). A lifelong student of physics, he lives in Murphys, California. Review "A true masterpiece that will stand the test of time. I only wish this book was around when I was learning classical physics. Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory was joyful to read, filled with insights and secrets that will prepare you for research."--Stephon Alexander, cosmologist at Brown University and author of The Jazz of Physics"Relativity and field theory are absolutely central to modern physics. Here they are explained masterfully, with insight and wit. This is physics the way its really done, in all its glory, nothing swept under the rug."--Sean Carroll, author of The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself"Susskind and Friedman follow their collaboration on Quantum Mechanics by probing the mathematical nitty-gritty of field theory and Einsteins theory of special relativity in the third installment of the Theoretical Minimum series.... Enthusiastic discussion is seasoned with wry humor.... Well paced.... Clear and concise."--Publishers Weekly"Susskind is meticulous in explaining each step of applying the equations to the physical phenomena he describes, and he excels in explaining why the math works the way it does.... If youre intrepid enough... youll emerge with a much deeper appreciation for the true meaning of Einsteins relativity, Maxwells equations and many other aspects of fundamental physics."--Science News"Susskinds approach is to subject the novice to a historical mathematical boot camp to make the path seem natural, and ultimately easier... At once witty and insightful."--Nature Review Quote "Susskinds approach is to subject the novice to a historical mathematical boot camp to make the path seem natural, and ultimately easier...
