Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'And what is the use,' thought Alice, 'of a book without pictures or conversations in it ' -Lewis Carroll This book is written for modem undergraduate students - not the ideal stu dents that mathematics professors wish for (and who occasionally grace our campuses), but the students like many the author has taught: talented but ap preciating review and reinforcement of past course work; willing to work hard, but demanding context and motivation for the mathematics they are learning. To suit this audience, the author eschews density of topics and efficiency of presentation in favor of a gentler tone, a coherent story, digressions on mathe maticians, physicists and their notations, simple examples worked out in detail, and reinforcement of the basics. Dense and efficient texts play a crucial role in the education of budding (and budded) mathematicians and physicists. This book does not presume to improve on the classics in that genre. Rather, it aims to provide those classics with a large new generation of appreciative readers. This text introduces some basic constructs of modern symplectic geometry in the context of an old celestial mechanics problem, the two-body problem. We present the derivation of Kepler's laws of planetary motion from Newton's laws of gravitation, first in the style of an undergraduate physics course, and x Preface then again in the language of symplectic geometry. No previous exposure to symplectic geometry is required: we introduce and illustrate all necessary con structs.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -[see attached for complete text]Recent years have seen the appearance of several books bridging the gap between mathematics and physics; most are aimed at the graduate level and above. {it Symmetry in Mechanics: A Gentle, Modern Introduction} is geared towards a broad audience, requiring only competency in multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and introductory physics.This work was written with two goals in mind: to chip away at the language barrier between physicists and mathematicians and to link the abstract constructions of symplectic to concrete, explicitly calculated examples. The context is a careful exposition of the two-body problem, namely, the derivation of Kepler's laws of planetary motion from Newton's laws of gravitation.Key features of this work include: straightforward and elementary presentation of the derivation of Kepler's laws in the language of vector calculus short historical introduction to the subject gentle introduction to symplectic manifolds, Hamiltonian flows, Lie group actions, Lie algebras, momentum maps, and symplectic reduction with many examples, exercises, and solutions cyclical treatment of material---book ends with the derivation it started with, in the language of symplectic and differential geometry.For the student, mathematician or physicist who has noticed that symmetry yields simplification and wants to know why, this book will be a rewarding experience. The book is an excellent resource for self-study or classroom use at the undergraduate level, requiring only competency in multivariable calculus, linear algebra and introductory physics.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 208 pp. Englisch.…
