Applications in Classical and Quantum Physics
摘要
In Chap. 6 , the mathematical machinery developed around vectors and tensors is applied to topics in classical and quantum physics. The most prominent applications are in multipole expansions in classical electrodynamics and in the theory of operator-valued vectors (vector operators) in quantum mechanics. In-chapter examples and end-of-chapter problems are included to reinforce introduced concepts and to give readers a chance to practice the relevant mathematics.
