A great classic and starting point for fluid mechanics
This is one of the volumes of the famous Sommerfeld "TheoreticalPhysics" collection. It is a great book, full of the insight and depthof the master who wrote it. Sommerfeld has had as doctorate students thelikes of Heisenberg, Pauli, Bethe, Wien ... He assigned Fluid Mechanics asthe theme for the Ph.D thesis of the young Heisenberg. There are traces ofthat in this book, in the chapter "Addenda on Turbulence". Thechapter on Vector Analysis is the best I know, for physicists. It is ashame that the collection is not any more available. Where is the Doverpeople? ... Read more

Product Description
This volume contains material submitted to a symposium on mathematical physics in July 1993 at the Technical University, Clausthal. It focuses on mathematical and physical notions of symmetries, especially on generalized and quantum symmetries (quantum groups and algebras) with applications to integrable systems, quasi-exact solvability, quantization methods and nonlinear problems. The workshop is a continuation of the series of meetings and workshops on mathematical physics in Clausthal. It brought together mathematicians, and theoretical and mathematical physicists working in the different parts of generalized symmetries. Recent developments in the mathematical structure and physical applications of generalized symmetries were discussed. ... Read more

Product Description
Quantum symmetries modelled through quantum groups or their duals, quantum algebras, is a very active field of relevant physical and one and with promising physical applications. This volume gives some information on the progress of this field during the years after the quantum group workshop in Clausthal, 1989. Quantum symmetries are connected with very different approaches and views. The field is not yet coherent; there are different notions of quantum groups and of quantum algebras through algebraic deformations of groups and algebras. Hence its development has various directions following more special mathematical and physical interests. ... Read more
