Applications of Electrodynamics in Theoretical Physics and AstrophysicsCRC Press, 20 nov 1989 - 488 pagine Based on a lecture course in physics and astrophysics. Ginzburg treats certain problems and methods that are not rigorously treated in most texts. These are associated with microscopic and macroscopic electrodynamics and material concerning the theory of transition radiation and transition scattering. He discusses recent ideas and results, such as the problem of toroidal dipole moments. Book club price, $42. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
