Description
Summary:This successful classical mechanics text, written for advanced one- or two-semester undergraduate courses, provides a comprehensive overview of the classical mechanics of particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies. Vector calculus is used extensively to explore the topics. The Lagrangian formulation of mechanics is introduced early on to show its powerful problem-solving capabilities. Modern notation and terminology are used throughout the text to support the goal of the text: to ease students' transition to advanced physics and the mathematical formalism necessary for the quantum theory of physics. CLASSICAL DYNAMICS OF PARTICLES AND SYSTEMS can easily be used for a one- or two-semester course, depending on the instructor's choice of topics.
