With equal emphasis on intuition and formalism, this text provides a unified, comprehensive, and coherent introduction to continuum physics that requires only some Newtonian mechanics and modest mathematical prerequisites that are further developed in the text. Based on the author's years of teaching the subject, the book is highly structured and useful on several tracks: as the main text for a course on continuum physics or as the foundation for courses on more specialized areas, such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, geophysics, and astrophysics. It contains all the usual features of a textbook: plenty of illustrations, problem sets with solutions, and an introduction to numerical simulations. OTIs OTI 1 IP177

This 2002 book discusses the classical foundations of field theory, using the language of variational methods and covariance. It is an ideal supplementary text for courses on elementary field theory, group theory and dynamical systems, and a valuable reference for researchers. It has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.

Classical field theory is employed by physicists to describe a wide variety of physical phenomena. These include electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, gravitation and quantum mechanics. The central entity of field theory is the field which is usually a multi component function of space and time. Those multi component functions are usually grouped together as vector fields as in the case in electromagnetic theory and fluid dynamics, in other cases they are grouped as tensors as in theories of gravitation and yet in other cases they are grouped as complex functions as in the case of quantum mechanic
