Lehrbuch der theoretischen Physik II. Klassische Feldtheorie

Course of Theoretical Physics #2

by L.D. Landau, E.M. Lifschitz

Второй том курса теоретической физики, заслужившего широкую известность в нашей стране и за рубежом, посвящен классической теории электромагнитных и гравитационных полей. Излагаются основы специальной теории относительности, вывод уравнений электродинамики из принципа наименьшего действия, вопросы распространения и излучения электромагнитных волн. Последние главы книги посвящены общей теории относительности. Параллельно с развитием этой теории излагаются основы тензорного анализа.
Для студентов университетов, студентов физических специальностей вузов, а также для аспирантов соответствующих специальностей.

El peor libro del mundo. Me lo voy a releer

[Hollis Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

Probably one of the weakest of the textbooks by Landau and Lifshitz, but still well worth reading.

[Ronald Lett · Rating 3 out of 5]

As was his previous volume, it is extremely concise on certain topics (so that you will be left to do the necessary legwork yourself) and more verbose on very specific topics. However, its concision does lend itself to showing the simple core of the theory. It is definitely recommended that this text be accompanied by those that are more verbose (and provide more problem sets) in the areas of general relativity and electrodynamics.

The book is excellent. Every sentence and every derivation is careful and precise. I did find a typo on page ˜98 with a missing equals sign but that was likely due to the publisher so no issues there. I read this book while auditing the class this past spring semester for fun. I read the part for the E&M I course which is the first part of the book so I'm now putting this one down and picking up Landau & Lifshitz Mechanics.

best book from ten volumes

its approach is the best..every sentence is highly consice and examined
if you want to be a professional physicsist in any field.. its enough to know EM from this book..
i am strongly recommended the first part to everyone that wants to read physics seriously but i am not sure about the gravity section....
the second part has its own benefits
its have very physical insights about the subjects
you should read it too

Contains electromagnetic and gravitational fields. The good thing about this series is that the author builds the whole theory based on common sense, and how the action of the theory 'should' look like.
