An introduction to the important areas of mathematical physics, this volume starts with basic ideas and proceeds (sometimes rapidly) to a more...
The differential geometric formulation of analytical mechanics not only offers a new insight into Mechanics, but also provides a more rigorous...
In the series of volumes which together will constitute the "Handbook of Differential Geometry" we try to give a rather complete survey of the field...
After a brief description of the evolution of thinking on Finslerian geometry starting from Riemann, Finsler, Berwald and Elie Cartan, the book gives...
The present book is intended as a textbook and reference work on three topics in the title. Together with a volume in progress on "Groups and...
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to modern global variational theory on fibred spaces. It is based on differentiation and integration...
The moduli problem is to describe the structure of the spaceof isomorphism classes of Riemann surfaces of a giventopological type. This space is known...
This volume is an introduction to differential methods in physics. Part I contains a comprehensive presentation of the geometry of manifolds and Lie...
The Mathematical Works of J. H. C. Whitehead, Volume 1: Differential Geometry contains all of Whitehead's published work on differential geometry...
The aim of this book is to discuss the present situation of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms involving higher order derivatives. The achievements...
