Book Synopsis Introduction to Relativistic Continuum Mechanics by : Giorgio Ferrarese
Download or read book Introduction to Relativistic Continuum Mechanics written by Giorgio Ferrarese. This book was released on 2007-09-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mathematically-oriented introduction takes the point of view that students should become familiar, at an early stage, with the physics of relativistic continua and thermodynamics within the framework of special relativity. Therefore, in addition to standard textbook topics such as relativistic kinematics and vacuum electrodynamics, the reader will be thoroughly introduced to relativistic continuum and fluid mechanics. There is emphasis on the 3+1 splitting technique.
