This graduate-level text presents a single-volume study of the principles behind several branches and their interrelationships. Compact but far-reaching, it is arranged according to formalisms, starting with a detailed consideration of the Lagrangian variety. Other topics include canonical formalism; canonical form of electrodynamics; Hamiltonian densities; transformations; and more. 1959 edition.
Unabridged republication of the edition published by North-Holland Publishing Company, Amsterdam, 1959.
