Reviews
From the reviews:
“The aim of the author of this interesting book is to present the main ideas of Hamiltonian mechanics and allied topics, by using just elementary mathematical methods. … To illustrate how classical mechanics formalism works in other branches of theoretical physics, examples related to electrodynamics, as well as to relativistic and quantum mechanics, are included. This handbook is well addressed to undergraduate students in physics.” (Franco Cardin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1206, 2011)Authors and Affiliations
