Classical Field Theory and the Stress-Energy Tensor (Second Edition)

This text uses basic differential geometry, variational techniques, and group theory to derive the Newtonian theory of fluids and the theories of scalar, spinor, vector, and tensor fields. Numerous classical situations are analysed which have direct implications for quantum field theory.
