Classical Mechanics [E-Book] : Point Particles and Relativity / by Walter Greiner.
More than a generation of German-speaking students around the world have worked their way to an understanding and appreciation of the power and beauty of modern theoretical physics—with mathematics, the most fundamental of sciences—using Walter Greiner’s textbooks as their guide. The idea of develop...
