DESCRIPTION:
Language Notes Text: English, Russian (translation)
A biography of Lev Landau, one of the greatest Soviet theoretical physicists, whose career was cut short by a catastrophic car accident in 1962 and who was still only sixty when he died six years later. But the book shows that Landau's characterisation of himself as 'one of the last of the universal men of theoretical physics' was fully justified. He won the Nobel Prize 'for pioneering work on the theory of the condensed state of matter, particularly liquid helium'. Clearly and concisely it describes his achievements in all areas of theoretical physics from hydrodynamics to the quantum theory of fields. Attention is also paid to his genius as a teacher and mentor of young scientists, and throughout the book the true humanity of the man is evident
The complete account on Landau's style I have been reading the Livanova's book again and again since undergraduate to the present PhD studies. To my knowledge this is the more detailed book about the great physicist and teacher Lev Davidovitch Landau, the unmistakable ``Dau''.You'll find in this book an impressive amount of details about Dau himself, about his world wide famous style as a physicist, his school on theoretical physics, the theoretical minimum, the relationship with his pupils, etcAbove all, and the most important, you will find Dau own advice about what, when and how to study to become an eventual theoretical physicist in Landau's high professional tradition.
