Synopsis

Mathematica in Theoretical Physics illustrates how Mathematica can be utilized to solve physical problems and deal with theoretical concepts. A translation of the highly successful German language book published by Springer-Verlag in 1993, this title includes over one hundred new pages containing more examples in classical mechanics. Non-trivial examples in electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and general relativity are also provided. The author also includes the derivation of scaling solutions in non-linear physics and has added an introduction to Mathematica specifically designed for physicists and engineers - expanding and strengthening the original work. The diskette contains program code in Mathematica Notebook format.

From the Back Cover

The primary purpose of this book is to show readers how to solve physical problems and deal with their underlying theoretical concepts, while using Mathematica to derive numerical and analytic solutions. Used as an everyday tool, Mathematica permits scientists and engineers to perform in-depth analysis of scientific computations and results. This book assumes only a basic understanding of theoretical concepts in physics. It can be used as a textbook, or as a reference work, by students and researchers alike. A brief glossary of terms and functions, as well as information explaining how to use the diskette, are contained in the appendices.
