Overview
- Provides a concise and compact introductory text to Newtonian Mechanics at an advanced level
- Uses modern concepts such as the equivalence principle to simplify solving basic mechanics problems which makes the solutions more understandable
- Fits the need for a one-semester course in Classical Mechanics, before introducing advanced concepts such as action, Lagrange and Hamilton equations
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics (ULNP)

About this book
The aim of this book is to prepare a self-consistent and compact text that is very useful for teachers as well as for independent study.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The textbook is an introductory course into classical mechanics. … The aim is to define the key notions of Newtonian mechanics and to show how to solve problems of standard difficulty and sometimes a bit more difficult ones. The book has ten chapters and an appendix. … The book is self-consistent and can be recommended to teachers and for independent study of classical mechanics.” (Irina Alexandrovna Bolgrabskaya, zbMATH, Vol. 1284, 2014)Authors and Affiliations
