Florian A. Scheck es un profesor emérito de física teórica con una rica carrera académica. Su trabajo se centró en profundas cuestiones de la física teórica, contribuyendo a nuestra comprensión de las fuerzas y partículas fundamentales del universo. Su enfoque se caracterizó por la precisión y una profunda perspicacia en conceptos teóricos complejos.
This book provides an introduction to relativistic quantum mechanics, followed by a detailed exploration of fundamental interactions and unified theories. It covers local gauge theories, the minimal standard model, and applications, concluding with theories for elementary particles and complex nuclei. Exercises with solutions enhance its suitability for graduate courses.
Beginning with classical thermodynamics, Scheck's textbook delves into its geometrical aspects before introducing probabilities and statistics for a statistical interpretation. It thoroughly explains phase transitions, discrete models, and matter stability. The text highlights thermodynamics' pivotal role in theoretical physics, serving as a bridge across various fields such as condensed matter theory, particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. It contrasts classical thermodynamics, which focuses on averaged properties, with statistical thermodynamics, which integrates classical mechanics with quantum theory for a deeper understanding.
On Electrodynamics, Non-Abelian Gauge Theories and Gravitation
Focusing on classical field theory, the book thoroughly examines Maxwell's equations, presenting them in both integral and local forms. It features detailed illustrations, worked examples, and a variety of problems with solutions. Special topics are highlighted throughout, enhancing the reader's understanding of the subject matter. This comprehensive approach makes it a valuable resource for students and professionals alike.
Das Mechanik Manual ist ein modernes, fur Studenten und Dozenten gleichermassen nutzliches Aufgabenbuch zur Vorlesung "Theoretische Mechanik". Es enthalt alle Aufgaben aus Scheck, "Mechanik" mit Loesungen und grossenteils ausfuhrlichen Kommentaren sowie viele zusatzliche durchgerechnete UEbungen.
