Variational PrinciplesVariational Principles 
by B. L. Moiseiwitsch
This text shows how variational principles are used to determine the discrete eigenvalues for stationary state problems and to illustrate how to find the values of quantities that arise in the theory of scattering. 1966 edition.
Calculus of VariationsCalculus of Variations 
by I. M. Gelfand, S. V. Fomin
Fresh, lively text serves as a modern introduction to the subject, with applications to the mechanics of systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom. Ideal for math and physics students.
Variational Principles and Free-Boundary ProblemsVariational Principles and Free-Boundary Problems 
by Avner Friedman
Advanced graduate-level text examines variational methods in partial differential equations and illustrates their applications to free-boundary problems. Features detailed statements of standard theory of elliptic and parabolic operators. 1982 edition.
Foundations of Measurement Volume III: Representation, Axiomatization, and InvarianceFoundations of Measurement Volume III: Representation, Axiomatization, and Invariance 
by Patrick Suppes, David H. Krantz, R. Duncan Luce, Amos Tversky
All of the sciences have a need for quantitative measurement. This influential series established the formal foundations for measurement, justifying the assignment of numbers to objects in terms of their structural correspondence. 1990 edition.

The Variational Principles of MechanicsThe Variational Principles of Mechanics 
by Cornelius Lanczos
Philosophic, less formalistic approach to analytical mechanics offers model of clear, scholarly exposition at graduate level with coverage of basics, calculus of variations, principle of virtual work, equations of motion, more.
 

Product Description:

This text provides a framework for describing and organizing the basic forces of nature and the interactions of subatomic particles. A detailed and self-contained mathematical account of gauge theory, it is geared toward beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates in mathematics and physics. This well-organized treatment supplements its rigor with intuitive ideas.
Starting with an examination of principal fiber bundles and connections, the text explores curvature; particle fields, Lagrangians, and gauge invariance; Lagrange's equation for particle fields; and the inhomogeneous field equation. Additional topics include free Dirac electron fields; interactions; calculus on frame bundle; and unification of gauge fields and gravitation. The text concludes with references, a selected bibliography, an index of notation, and a general index.
Republication of the Reading, MA, 1981 edition.
