About this book
This book presents a unified approach to classical and quantum mechanics of spinning particles, with symmetry principles as the starting point.
A classical concept of an elementary particle is presented. The variational statements to deal with spinning particles are revisited. It is shown that, by explicitly constructing different models, symmetry principles are sufficient for the description of either classical or quantum-mechanical elementary particles. Several spin effects are analyzed.
