Opis

This book emphasizes general principles of physics illustrated by simple examples in fluid mechanics. Advanced mathematics (e.g., Riemannian geometry and Lie groups) commonly used in other parts of theoretical physics (e.g. General Relativity or High Energy Physics) are explained and applied to Fluid Mechanics.

Recenzje

Suitable for graduate students in mathematics and physics, this book would serve any student well who is looking for a survey of the field of fluid mechanics or a rigorous review of mathematical techniques in physics. RECOMMENDED

O autorze

S. G. Rajeev was born in Trivandrum, India. He has a B.Sc. degree from the University of Kerala and a Ph. D. from Syracuse University. After a stint as a Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT, he has been on the faculty at the University of Rochester, where he is a Professor of Physics and of Mathematics. He has done research on several topics in high energy physics and quantum gravity: soliton models for hadrons, string theory, renormalization, quantum field theory, and Yang-Mills theories — but fluid mechanics was his first love.
