Description : The book gives a general introduction to classical theoretical physics, in the fields of mechanics, relativity and electromagnetism. It is analytical in approach and detailed in the derivations of physical consequences from the fundamental principles in each of the fields. This second edition has a new part, namely Classical Field Theory. Highlighting a close connection between this part and earlier parts of the book, where particles, rather than fields are the center of attention. As a general introduction to classical theoretical physics, the book is different from most textbooks at this level, which focus either on classical mechanics
