Mathematica for Theoretical Physics: Electrodynamics, Quantum Mechanics, General Relativity and Fractals

Gerd Baumann0387219331, 9780387219332

This second edition of Baumann’s Mathematica in Theoretical Physics shows readers how to solve physical problems and deal with their underlying theoretical concepts while using Mathematica to derive numeric and symbolic solutions. Each example and calculation can be evaluated by the reader, and the reader can change the example calculations and adopt the given code to related or similar problems. The second edition has been completely revised and expanded into two volumes: The first volume covers classical mechanics and nonlinear dynamics. Both topics are the basis of a regular mechanics course. The second volume covers electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, and fractals and fractional calculus.
