Techniques of classical mechanics : from Lagrangian to Newtonian mechanics /

Samya Zain's work fulfils the niche that connects introductory physics level books, like Phyiscs by Halliday, Resnick and Krane, to graduate level books like Analytical Mechanics by Fowles and Cassiday and The Variational Principles of Mechanics by Cornelius Lanczos. The book has been class-tes...
