Geometrical Mechanics and De Broglie Waves (Cambridge Monographs on Mechantics and Applied Mathematics) by J. L. Synge
English | ISBN: 0521156882 | 2011 | Djvu | 178 pages | 3,8 MB
This book was first published in 1954. Its main focus, almost uniquely for its time, is the application of Hamilton's optical method to variational principles in space-time. Professor J. L. Synge here uses this method to generate a completely relativistic theory of de Broglie waves: a theory both simple and easily visualised in relation to space-time.
