Mathematica for Theoretical Physics:

Classical Mechanics and Nonlinear Dynamics

This second edition of Baumann's Mathematica^? in Theoretical Physics shows readers how to solve physical problems and deal with their underlying theoretical concepts while using Mathematica^? to derive numeric and symbolic solutions. Each example and calculation can be evaluated by the reader, and the reader can change the example calculations and adopt the given code to related or similar problems.

The second edition has been completely revised and expanded into two volumes:

The first volume covers classical mechanics and nonlinear dynamics. Both topics are the basis of a regular mechanics course. The second volume covers electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, and fractals and fractional calculus.

New examples have been added and the representation has been reworked to provide a more interactive problem-solving presentation. This book can be used as a textbook or as a reference work, by students and researchers alike. A brief glossary of terms and functions is contained in the appendices.

The examples given in the text can also be inló-
