Action principles for hydro- and thermo-dynamics. (English) Zbl 1360.76224
Summary: For all its brilliant success stories, theoretical physics is actually in a lamentable state. The best way to highlight the situation and at the same time point out that it is not difficult to do better – using action principles – is to present several examples.
