Can I read Modern Classical Physics : Optics, Fluids, Plasmas, Elasticity, Relativity, and Statistical Physics on EtoBox?

Modern Classical Physics : Optics, Fluids, Plasmas, Elasticity, Relativity, and Statistical Physics by Thorne, Kip S., author; Blandford, Roger D., author is a science book available to read on EtoBox.

What is Modern Classical Physics : Optics, Fluids, Plasmas, Elasticity, Relativity, and Statistical Physics about?

This First-year Graduate-level Text And Reference Book Covers The Fundamental Concepts And Twenty-first-century Applications Of Six Major Areas Of Classical Physics That Every Masters- Or Phd-level Physicist Should Be Exposed To, But Often Isn't: Statistical Physics, Optics (waves Of All Sorts), Elastodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Plasma Physics, And Special And General Relativity And Cosmology. Growing Out Of A Full-year Course That The Eminent Researchers Kip Thorne And Roger Blandford Taught At Caltech For Almost Three Decades, This Book Is Designed To Broaden The Training Of Physicists. Its Six Main Topical Sections Are Also Designed So They Can Be Used In Separate Courses, And The Book Is An Invaluable Reference For Researchers. Presents All The Major Fields Of Classical Physics Except Three Prerequisites: Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, And Elementary Thermodynamics ; Elucidates The Interconnections Between Diverse Fields And Explains Their Shared Concepts And Tools ; Focuses On Fundamental Concepts And Modern, Real-world Applications ; Takes Applications From Fundamental, Experiemental, And Applied Physics; Astrophysics And Cosmology; Geophysics, Oceanography, And Meteor
