Study

In the course we consider the main aspects and concepts of classical field theory viewed as part of theoretical physics curriculum. The material is presented in consistent relativistically covariant form. We discuss in detail such fundamental concepts as relativity principle, Lorentz transformations, Lorentz and Poincare groups and their generators, electromagnetic field tensor and field action, and corresponding energy-momentum tensor. The developed theory is applied for the description of the propagetion and radiation of electromagnetic waves.
