Book Description
Classical mechanics is the first of the modern physical theories and the framework within which most of the observed macroscopic phenomena are described. This volume offers an organic, rigorous, and progressive path, aimed both at students attending their first university courses in Physics, Mathematics, and Engineering, and at those approaching a second course in analytical mechanics. The exposition balances formal rigor and physical intuition, with numerous worked examples and exercises proposed at three levels of difficulty, all accompanied by final results and complete solutions.
The topics covered include the kinematics of the material point, Newton’s three laws, work and energy, oscillations, systems of particles and collisions, gravitation and central forces, rigid bodies and fluids; then constraints and d’Alembert’s principle, the Euler–Lagrange equations, Hamilton’s principle and Noether’s theorem, Hamilton’s equations, Poisson brackets, canonical transformations, the Hamilton–Jacobi equation, up to small oscillations and normal modes
