Introduction to Classical Mechanics: With Problems and Solutions

Om boken

This textbook covers all the standard introductory topics in classical mechanics, including Newton's laws, oscillations, energy, momentum. angular momentum, planetary motion, and special relativity. It also explores more advanced topics, such as normal modes, the Lagrangian method, gyroscopic motion, fictitious forces, 4-vectors, and general relativity. Each chapter ends with problems accompanied by detailed solutions so students can easily check their understanding of the topic, and features u...Vis mer
