Jorge V. José and Eugene J. Saletan. 
 - New York :  Cambridge University Press,  c2012 
 - xxv, 670 pages :  illustrations ;  26 cm. 
<br/><br/>Includes bibliographical references (pages 656-662) and index. 
<br/><br/>Fundamentals of mechanics -- Lagrangian formulation of mechanics -- Topics in Lagrangian dynamics -- Scattering and linear oscillations -- Hamiltonian formulation of mechanics -- Topics in Hamiltonian dynamics -- Nonlinear dynamics -- Virigid bodies -- Continuum dynamics. 
<br/><br/> "Recent advances in the study of dynamical systems have revolutionized the way that classical mechanics is taught and understood. Classical Dynamics: A Contemporary Approach is a new and comprehensive textbook that provides a complete description of this fundamental branch of physics." "It will be an ideal textbook for graduate students of physics, applied mathematics, theoretical chemistry, and engineering, and will also serve as a useful reference for researchers in these fields."--Jacket
