Description for A Course in Classical Physics 1-Mechanics
Paperback. Covering the mechanics of point particles, gravitation, extended systems, basic relativistic mechanics and rigid body and fluid mechanics, this volume (one of four) covers mechanics, fluids and thermodynamics, waves and light, and aims to reflect the typical syllabus in the first two years of a calculus-based university physics program. Series: Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 406 pages, 237 black & white illustrations, 2 colour illustrations, 2 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 159 x 326 x 25. Weight in Grams: 630.
This first volume covers the mechanics of point particles, gravitation, extended systems (starting from the two-body system), the basic concepts of relativistic mechanics and the mechanics of rigid bodies and fluids. It is part of a four-volume textbook, which covers electromagnetism, mechanics, fluids and thermodynamics, and waves and light, and is designed to reflect the typical syllabus during the first two years of a calculus-based university physics program. Throughout all four volumes, particular attention is paid to in-depth clarification of conceptual aspects, and to this end the historical roots of the principal ... Read more
