Material type:
TextPublication details: Mineola, N.Y. : Dover Publications, 2000Description: vii, 232 pages : illustrationsISBN: 9780486414485; 0486414485 Subject(s): Calculus of variationsDDC classification: 515.64 Summary:
Based on a series of lectures given by I. M. Gelfand at Moscow State University, this book actually goes considerably beyond the material presented in the lectures. The aim is to give a treatment of the elements of the calculus of variations in a form both easily understandable and sufficiently modern. Considerable attention is devoted to physical applications of variational methods, e.g., canonical equations, variational principles of mechanics, and conservation laws.
