Books by L D (Institute of Physical Problems Landau

Covering the theory of electromagnetic fields in matter, and the theory of macroscopic electric and magnetic properties of matter, this revised edition contains new material, particularly on the theory of the magnetic properties of matter and the theory of optical phenomena.

Intended for undergraduate and graduate students of science and engineering, this book covers the area of fluid mechanics, starting from the fundamentals, and then moving to widespread applications, to technology and geophysics. It also contains discussions on the universal dimensions similarity scaling for the laminar boundary layer equations.

Devoted to the foundation of mechanics, namely classical Newtonian mechanics, this mechanics text is based mainly on Galileo's principle of relativity and Hamilton's principle of least action. The exposition is simple and leads to a complete and direct means of solving problems in mechanics.

This fourth edition contains seven new sections with chapters on general relativity, gravitational waves and relativistic cosmology. The text has been thoroughly revised and additional problems have been inserted.
