| adam_text | A Student s
Guide
to
Geophysical Equations
The advent of accessible student computing packages has
mea
n t
that
geophysics students can now easily manipulate
datasets
and gain first-hand
modeling experience
-
essential in developing an intuitive understanding
of the physics of the Earth. Yet to gain a more in-depth understanding of the
physical theory, and to be able to develop new models and
soluti
ons,
it is
necessary to be able to derive the relevant equations from first principles.
This compact, handy book fills a gap left by most modern geophysics
textbooks, which generally do not have space to
deri
ve
all of the
importa
n t
formulae, showing the intermediate steps. This guide presents full
derivations for the classical equations of gravitation, gravity, tides,
Earth rotation, heat, geomagnetism, andfoundationalseismology,
illustrated with simple schematic diagrams. It supports
studen
t s
through
the successive steps and explains the logical sequence of a derivation-
facilitating self-study and helping students to tackle homework exercises
and prepareforexams.
