Fundametals Of Theoretical Physics Vol 1

Fundamentals of Theoretical Physics Volume 1 Mechanics, Electrodynamics by I. V. Savelyev The book was translated from the Russian by G. Leib. The book was first published in 1982, revised from the 1975 Russian edition by Mir Publishers. The book being offered to the reader is a logical continuation of the author's three-volume general course of physics. Everything possible has been done to avoid repenting what has been set out in the three-volume course. Particularly. the experiments underlying the advancing of physical ideas are not treated, and some of the results obtained are not discussed. In the part devoted to mechanics, unlike the established traditions, Lagrange's equations are derived directly from Newton's equations instead of from d'Alembert's principle. Among the books I have acquainted myself with, such a derivation is given in A. S. Kompaneyts’s book Theoretical Physics (in Russian) for the particular case of a conservative system. In the present book, I have extended this method of exposition to systems in which not only conservative, but also non-conservative forces act. The treatment of electrodynamics is restricted to a consideration of media with a permittivity
