Classical field theory is employed by physicists to describe a wide variety of physical phenomena. These include electromagnetism fluid dynamics gravitation and quantum mechanics. The central entity of field theory is the field which is usually a multi component function of space and time. These multi component functions are usually grouped together as vector fields as in the case in electromagnetic theory and fluid dynamics in other cases they are grouped as tensors as in theories of gravitation and yet in other cases they are grouped as complex functions as in the case of quantum mechanics. In order to know the value of the field one needs to solve a set of coupled partial differential equations with given boundary and initial conditions.

The book covers a selection of recent advances in classical field theory involving electromagnetism fluid dynamics gravitation and quantum mechanics.

Advances in Classical Field Theory will benefit readers by saving them the effort to read through numerous journal articles which would be needed to obtain a coherent picture of classical field theory otherwise. This eBook is unique in its aim and scope and is not similar to any existing publication.
