Theoretical Concepts in Physics: An Alternative View of Theoretical Reasoning in Physics 3rd Edition by Malcolm S. Longair (PDF)

Description

In this original and integrated approach to theoretical reasoning in physics, Malcolm Longair illuminates the subject from the perspective of real physics as practised by research scientists. Concentrating on the basic insights, attitudes and techniques that are the tools of the modern physicist, this approach conveys the intellectual excitement and beauty of the subject. Through a series of seven case studies, an undergraduate course in classical physics and the discovery of quanta are reviewed from the point of the view of how the great discoveries and changes of perspective came about. This approach illuminates the intellectual struggles needed to attain understanding of some of the most difficult concepts in physics. Longair’s highly acclaimed text has been fully revised and includes new studies on the physics of fluids, Maxwell’s great paper on equations for the electromagnetic field and problems of contemporary cosmology and the very early universe.
