Theoretical Physics 1: Classical Mechanics by Wolfgang Nolting (PDF)

Description

Der Grundkurs Theoretische Physik deckt in sieben Bänden alle für Diplom- und Bachelor/Master-Studiengänge maßgeblichen Gebiete ab. Jeder Band vermittelt das im jeweiligen Semester nötige theoretisch-physikalische Rüstzeug. Übungsaufgaben mit ausführlichen Lösungen dienen der Vertiefung des Stoffs. Band 1 behandelt die klassische Mechanik. Vorausgesetzt wird nur die übliche Schulmathematik, andere mathematische Hilfsmittel werden zu Beginn ausführlich erläutert. Die zweifarbig gestaltete Neuauflage wurde grundlegend überarbeitet und ergänzt.

Editorial Reviews: Review “Theoretical Physics 1 starts with providing the student with the necessary mathematical apparatus that will be needed to understand classical mechanics. … Because of its clear presentation of the topics, different levels of exercises with solutions provided in the back of the book, it’s an ideal book for independent study.” (AstroMadness.com, November, 2017) From the Back Cover This textbook offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to classical mechanics, one of the core components of undergraduate physics courses. The book starts with a thorough introduction to the mathematical tools needed, to make this textbook self-contained for learning. The second part of the book introduces the mechanics of the free mass point and details conservation principles. The third part expands the previous to mechanics of many particle systems. Finally the mechanics of the rigid body is illustrated with rotational forces, inertia and gyroscope movement.Ideally suited to undergraduate students in their first year, the book is enhanced throughout with learning features such as boxed inserts and chapter summaries, with key mathematical derivations highlighted to aid understanding. The text is supported by numerous worked examples and end of chapter problem sets. About the Theoretical Physics seriesTranslated from the renowned and highly successful German editions, the eight volumes of this series cover the complete core curriculum of theoretical physics at undergraduate level. Each volume is self-contained and provides all the material necessary for the individual course topic. Numerous problems with detailed solutions support a deeper understanding. Nolting is famous for his refined didactical style and has been referred to as the “German Feynman” in reviews. About the Author Prof. Dr Wolfgang Nolting is an emeritus professor of physics of the German Humboldt University in Berlin, whose research interests span solid state physics and magnetism. He has over 40 years of teaching experience at various institutions including the University of Münster, ETH Zürich, the University of Würzburg and the Universidad de Valladolid in Spain. His acclaimed German textbook series on Theoretical Physics has now attained the rank of a standard work in physics education. Read more

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Overall I would rate this book 4.5/5.This book has an introductory chapter that is roughly 160 pages long that is about preliminary mathematics that would be required to read the text. It ranges from Calculus 1-3 (single variable calculus, techniques in integration, series, multivariate calculus, vector calculus) and Linear Algebra. There are exercises for all of these sections but overall I would say it better serves as a review rather than an introduction. It can serve as an introduction if this is not the readers first book on mathematics/physics, ie. You know how to read science literature (take notes on what you read and oftentimes important concepts are not bolded/highlighted etc.).I’m currently half way through the book and the only problem I have come across is that occasionally there will be a sentence that doesn’t quite make sense at first (the book is translated from German). If you reread it a few times and rewrite in your own words you should be okay.The explanations are mostly clear but very often uses words without giving the definition first which can leave the reader confused. Another issue is that the author often refers to an equation or explanation in a previous chapter or a few pages back. Another issue that I’ve seen with physics books in general (and in this one) if the overcomplicating of equations. The author will write out a whole equation with substitutions that will essentially mean that v(t)=v. This isn’t too big an issue but will definitely weed out the uninitiated.I have taken the calculus based first year physics classes and I would say that that definitely helps to read this text, but is not required.For the initiated wanting to learn theoretical physics I would definitely recommend this book. This would make a great reference as well.Note: I will continue to update the review as I continue finding good/bad things.
