A propos de cet article

8vo (21.5 cm), XVI, 286 pp. Laminated wrappers. "This excellent text develops and utilizes mathematical concepts to illuminate physical theories. Directed primarily to engineers, physicists, and applied mathematicians at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, it applies the mathematics of Cartesian and general tensors to physical field theories and demonstrates them chiefly in terms of the theory of fluid mechanics. Essentially an introductory text, intended for readers with some acquaintance with the calculus of partial differentiation and multiple integration, it first reviews the necessary background material, then proceeds to explore the algebra and calculus of Cartesian vectors and tensors. Subsequent chapters take up the kinematics of fluid motion, stress in fluids, equations of motion and energy in Cartesian coordinates, tensors, and equations of fluid flow in Euclidean space."

A propos de ce titre

Synopsis :

Ce manuel d'introduction s'adresse aux ingénieurs, aux physiciens et aux mathématiciens appliqués de niveau avancé du premier et du deuxième cycle. Il applique les mathématiques des tenseurs cartésiens et généraux aux théories des champs physiques et les démontre principalement en termes de théorie de la mécanique des fluides. De nombreux exercices apparaissent tout au long du manuel. Édition de 1962.
