{"product_id":"9789401043380","title":"Fundamental Theories of Physics","description":"\u003ch1\u003eFundamental Theories of Physics\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMiron, R.; Anastasiei, Mihai\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eDifferential-geometric methods are gaining increasing  importance in the understanding of a wide range of fundamental natural  phenomena. Very often, the starting point for such studies is a  variational problem formulated for a convenient Lagrangian. From a  formal point of view, a Lagrangian is a smooth real function defined  on the total space of the tangent bundle to a manifold satisfying some  regularity conditions. The main purpose of this book is to present:  (a) an extensive discussion of the geometry of the total space of a  vector bundle; (b) a detailed exposition of Lagrange geometry; and (c)  a description of the most important applications. New methods are  described for construction geometrical models for applications. \u003cbr\u003e  The various chapters consider topics such as fibre and vector bundles,  the Einstein equations, generalized Einstein--Yang--Mills equations,  the geometry of the total space of a tangent bundle, Finsler and  Lagrange spaces, relativistic geometrical optics, and the geometry of  time-dependent Lagrangians. Prerequisites for using the book are a  good foundation in general manifold theory and a general background in  geometrical models in physics. \u003cbr\u003e  For mathematical physicists and applied mathematicians interested in  the theory and applications of differential-geometric methods. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401043380\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0788-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 289\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398489895052,"sku":"9789401043380","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401043380.jpg?v=1774492293","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401043380","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
