Description for Introduction to Relativistic Continuum Mechanics
Hardback. Presents a mathematically-oriented introduction that 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. This book introduces reader to relativistic continuum and fluid mechanics. Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 352 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHD. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 675.
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.

Reviews for Introduction to Relativistic Continuum Mechanics
From the reviews: "The authors of this textbook present the foundations of special relativistic continuum dynamics in all details. In this form, the presentation is quite unique, as almost all other texts on relativistic continuum mechanics do it on the level of general relativity. … The whole presentation is very clearly done, and has enough ...
