Hamilton-Jacobi Theory in the Calculus of Variations: Its Role in Mathematics and Physics - Hardcover
Synopsis
This rigorous self-contained account demonstrates the role of the calculus of variations in unifying some of the most fundamental branches of pure mathematics and theoretical physics. The importance of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory is stressed right from the start, and so the pure mathematician gains imeediate access to the theory of first-order partial differential equations, to that of some second-order partial differential equations and to metric geometries. The theoetical physicist is shown how the theory of non-homogeneous single integral problems reveals the intimate relationship between geometrical optics and classical mechanics......
