Classical Field Theory: Electromagnetism and Gravitation

By Francis E. Low

This text emphasizes the field theoretic aspects of gravitation and the strong analogies between gravitation and the other areas studied in physics. The theory-centered text begins with the simplest experimental facts then proceeds to the corresponding differential equations, theoretical constructs such as energy, momentum and stress and several applications. End-of-chapter problems provide students with an opportunity to test their understanding; serve as an introduction to a review of material not included in the book; and can be used to develop examples, extensions and generalizations of the material presented.
