商品描述

This book presents modern variational calculus in mechanics and field theories with applications to theoretical physics. It is based on modern mathematical tools, specifically fibred spaces and their jet prolongations, which operate with vector fields and differential forms on foundational structures. The book systematically explains Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics and field theory, with a focused exploration of the underlying structures. Additionally, it addresses the well-known inverse problem of calculus of variations and provides examples illustrating key variational physical theories.

The text is complemented by solved examples from physics and includes exercises designed to help readers master the subject. Aimed at PhD students, postdocs, and interested researchers, this book assumes prior knowledge of mathematical analysis, linear and multilinear algebra, as well as elements of general and theoretical physics for effective engagement with the discussion.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書介紹了現代變分微積分在力學和場論中的應用,並與理論物理相關聯。內容基於現代數學工具,特別是纖維空間及其噴射延伸,這些工具與基礎結構上的向量場和微分形式進行操作。書中系統地解釋了拉格朗日力學和哈密頓力學以及場論,並專注於探討其背後的結構。此外,書中還討論了著名的變分微積分逆問題,並提供了示例以說明關鍵的變分物理理論。

文本中包含了來自物理學的解題示例,並設計了練習題以幫助讀者掌握該主題。本書針對博士生、博士後研究人員及有興趣的研究者,假設讀者具備數學分析、線性和多線性代數的先前知識,以及一般和理論物理的基本元素,以便有效參與討論。
