Inhaltsangabe

Physics of Continuous Media: A Collection of Problems with Solutions for Physics Students contains a set of problems with detailed and rigorous solutions. Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students in physics and applied mathematics, the book is a complementary text for standard courses on the physics of continuous media. With its assortment of standard problems for beginners, variations on a theme, and original problems based on new trends and theories in the physics under investigation, this book aids in the understanding of practical aspects of the subject. Topics discussed include vectors, tensors, and Fourier transformations; dielectric waves in media; natural optical activity; Cherenkov radiation; nonlinear interaction of waves; dynamics of ideal fluids and the motion of viscous fluids; convection; turbulence and acoustic and shock waves; the theory of elasticity; and the mechanics of liquid crystals.

Críticas

"Most books containing sets of problems with detailed solutions probably do not get reviewed - a situation which is in keeping with the albeit useful, but uninspired content of the majority. Such books are typically bought by students who are attempting to bolster their confidence or patch over weaknesses, and by overworked lecturers who either need new class material or must replace old stock to which the student entrepreneurs literally have all the answers. Professor Vekstein's book is not run-of-the-mill, or it will not meet any of these needs well. So do I recommend it? Emphatically, yes!" "An excellent collection of problems."
