Mathematica in Theoretical Physics

This text contains content and examples from classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, relativity, electrodynamics and the derivation of scaling solutions in non-linear physics. Additionally, it includes an introduction to "Mathematica" for physicists and engineers.

Mathematica in Theoretical Physics illustrates how Mathematica can be utilized to solve physical problems and deal with theoretical concepts. A translation of the highly successful German language book published by Springer-Verlag in 1993, this title includes over one hundred new pages containing more examples in classical mechanics. Non-trivial examples in electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and general relativity are also provided. The author also includes the derivation of scaling solutions in non-linear physics and has added an introduction to Mathematica specifically designed for physicists and engineers - expanding and strengthening the original work. The diskette contains program code in Mathematica Notebook format.
