SOLUT MAN CLASSIC MECH..(2ND ED‪)‬

As the essential companion book to the second edition of (World Scientific, 2024), a textbook which aims to provide a general introduction to classical theoretical physics, in the fields of mechanics, relativity, electromagnetism, and classical field theory, this book provides worked solutions to the exercises in the textbook.

Detailed explanations are laid out to aid the reader in advancing their understanding of the concepts and applications expounded in the textbook.

Jon Magne Leinaas received his education at the University of Oslo, where he received his doctorate in 1980. Postdoctoral fellowships at Nordita and CERN. Associate professor at the University of Stavanger, and since 1989 physics professor at the University of Oslo. Research interests in quantum physics and quantum field theory, and in classical field theory as well. A current interest is quantum fields in curved space.
