The first chapter is sufficient for those wanting to learn the basic concepts and methods of calculus of variations. The first six chapters provide a comprehensive university-level course, covering the theory of fields and conditions for weak and strong extrema. Chapter seven applies variational methods to systems with infinite degrees of freedom, and chapter eight discusses direct methods. The problems are tailored for this edition, and there are appendices and further reading suggestions.
