Classical
field theory is employed by physicists to describe a wide variety of physical
phenomena. These include electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, gravitation and
quantum mechanics. The central entity of field theory is the field which is
usually a multi component function of space and time. Those multi component
functions are usually grouped together as vector fields as in the case in
electromagnetic theory and fluid dynamics, in other cases they are grouped as
tensors as in theories of gravitation and yet in other cases they are grouped
as complex functions as in the case of quantum mechanics. In order to know
the value of the field one needs to solve a set of coupled partial
differential equations with given boundary and initial conditions.
The book covers a selection of recent advances in classical field
theory involving electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, gravitation and quantum
mechanics.
Advances in Classical
Field Theory will benefit readers by saving them the effort to
read through numerous journal articles which would be needed to obtain a
coherent picture of recent advances in classical field theory otherwise. The
book is unique in its aim and scope and is not similar to any existing
publication.
