OverviewThe topic is clear from the title. The author of this monograph has attempted to be at once as clear and as complete as possible, and to serve the needs both of mathematicians and of physicists. For all the effort he has given to (the very French conception of) clarity, some physicists at any rate a Full Product DetailsAuthor: A.
