内容简介
THE first edition of this book appeared more than thirty years ago. in the course of reissues over these decades the book has been revised and expanded; its volume has almost doubled since the first edition. But at no time has there been any need to change the method proposed by Landau for developing the theory, or his style of presentation, whose main feature was a striving for clarity and simplicity. I have made every effort to preserve this style in 'the revisions that I have had to make on my own. .
As compared with. the preceding edition, the first nine chapters, devoted to electrodynamics, have remained almost without changes. The chapters concerning the theory of the gravitational field have been revised and expanded. The material in this. e chapters has increased from edition to edition, and it was finally necessary to redistribute and rearrange it. ...
