Abstract: | Lev Davidovich Landau was arguably one of the greatest and most versatile physicists. His work spans a very wide range and has had a considerable impact on ail areas of physics including condensed matter physics, plasma, high energy and particle physics, fluid dynamics, astrophysics, gravitation, elasticity, etc. A long with his former fellow student, E Lifshitz, he wrote the set of a dozen volumes, the magnificent world-renowned Course of Theoretical Physics which covered topics ranging from mechanics, classical theory of fields, quantum mechanics, electrodynamics of continuous media, fluid dynamics, kinetic theory, theory of elasticity, statistical physics and more. |
