Descrizione del libro

This 1977 book was written for any reader not content with a purely mathematical approach to fields. In letting the mathematical concepts invent themselves out of the need to describe the physical world quantitatively, Professor Shercliff shows how the same mathematical ideas may be used in a wide range of apparently different contexts.
