Physics

Mechanics

Classical Mechanics

Fictitious forces, ballistic pendulum, Poisson’s equation, Kepler’s problem, inertia tensor — 60 pages: Classical_mechanics.pdf

Analytical Mechanics

The principle of virtual work is based on the study of pulley systems. Lagrangian mechanics is an application of generalised coordinates to the principle of virtual work extended to dynamics — 307 pages: Mecanique_analytique.pdf

Thermodynamics

Entropy

By studying the Carnot cycle and the associated thermodynamic temperature scale, Clausius discovers a new state function he calls entropy — 36 pages: Thermodynamics.pdf

Statistical Thermodynamics

Derivation of thermodynamic probabilities in classical Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics and in the quantum statistics of Maxwell–Boltzmann, Bose–Einstein, and Fermi–Dirac — 54 pages: Statistical_thermodynamics.pdf

Quantum Mechanics

Schrödinger Equation

The Schrödinger equation is the quantum counterpart of the fundamental relation of dynamics. It can be derived from the conservation of mechanical energy and the Planck–Einstein relations — 14 pages: Schrodinger_equation.pdf

Celestial Mechanics

Explanation of the origin of the variation of the true solar day — 11 pages: Equation_of_time.pdf

Length of Day and Night

Calculation of the length of day and night depending on the date and latitude — 4 pages: Length_of_day_and_night.pdf

Relativity

Special Relativity

The Lorentz–Poincaré transformations — 39 pages: Lorentz_transformations.pdf

Special and General Relativity

Special and general relativity — 622 pages: Relativité_restreinte_et_generale.pdf
