  • 9780521636360
Subject(s): LOC classification:
  • QA 805 .J67 2012
Contents:
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.
Summary: "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
