Reviews"The book is written such that for each topic to be understood, each topic is presented with the minimum necessary material. This is good for those who do not like to waste time by reading unnecessary pages and pages discussing the same subject. The examples are very well chosen, they are the ones that every serious student of the subject must know." (P. R. S. Carvalho, zbMATH 1408.70001, 2019)

Number of Volumes1 vol.

Table Of ContentElementary Newtonian mechanics.- Principle of virtual work and Lagrange's equations.- Hamilton's principle and action integrals.- Central force problems.- Scattering.- Rigid body kinematics.- Rigid body dynamics.- Small oscillations.- Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations for continuous systems and fields.- Special relativity.- A Vector calculus.- B Differential forms.- C Calculus of variations.- D Linear algebra.- E Special functions.

SynopsisContains an early introduction of D'Alembert's principle, variational principles and Lagrangian & Hamiltonian mechanics Provides an ideal blend of general concepts and methods which are then applied to important classes of problems Uses Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods at an early stage to give an entirely different way to set up and solve motion problems, This textbook provides an introduction to classical mechanics at a level intermediate between the typical undergraduate and advanced graduate level. This text describes the background and tools for use in the fields of modern physics, such as quantum mechanics, astrophysics, particle physics, and relativity. Students who have had basic undergraduate classical mechanics or who have a good understanding of the mathematical methods of physics will benefit from this book.
