内容简介
本书是一部版权引进的英文原版物理学专著。本书的目的是简要介绍有关经典场论的重要概念。场论的许多重要方面无须量化场就可以理解,其中包括作用公式化、伽利略和相对论不变性、行进波和驻波、自旋角动量、规范不变性、辅助条件、波动、自旋和矢量场、守恒律和对称性以及希格斯机制,以上这些理论在量子场论课程中通常都被简单地处理了.在撰写这本专著时,作者要对本书的表述水平以及主题和示例的选择做出许多决定。
作者简介
Mark Swanson, received his PhD in physics from the University of Missouri at Columbia in 1976. After a post-doctoral appointment at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, he joined the physics department at the University of Connecticut in 1979. His research focused on the relationship between canonical quantization techniques and the functional approach of path integrals, which led to authoring the monograph ‘Path Integrals and Quantum Processes’. In addition, he served in administrative capacity as the Stamford Campus director and an associate dean. He retired in 2014 and is now emeritus professor of physics. He lives in Connecticut with his wife where he continues to work on physics, programming computers, and amusing himself with the guitar.
