Description

Book Synopsis
This textbook — appropriate for a one-semester course in classical mechanics at the late undergraduate or early graduate level — presents a fresh, modern approach to mechanics. About 150 exercises, covering a wide variety of topics and applications, have solutions roughly outlined for enhanced understanding. Unique to this text is the versatile application of programming language Mathematica™ throughout to analyze systems and generate results. Coverage is also devoted to the topic on one dimensional continuum systems. The extensive discussions on inverse problems of mechanical systems and the detailed analysis of stability of classical systems certainly make this an outstanding textbook.

Table of Contents
Calculus of Variations; One Degree of Freedom; Systems with a Few Degrees of Freedom; Systems of Particles; Non-inertial Coordinate Systems; Gravitation; Collisions and Scattering; Hamiltonian Mechanics; Stability and Instability; Continuous Systems;
