Description for Classical Mechanics: From Newton to Einstein: A Modern Introduction
Paperback. Classical Mechanics is a comprehensive yet concise introduction to classical mechanics and relativity. Assuming only a minimum of mathematical knowledge, the book combines a user-friendly style with an authoritative approach to its subject, beginning with Newton's laws and advancing onto an exposition of Einstein's Special Relativity. Num Pages: 250 pages, black & white illustrations, black & white tables, figures. BIC Classification: PHD. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 244 x 169 x 12. Weight in Grams: 442.
This new edition of Classical Mechanics, aimed at undergraduate physics and engineering students, presents ina user-friendly style an authoritative approach to the complementary subjects of classical mechanics and relativity. The text starts with a careful look at Newton's Laws, before applying them in one dimension to oscillations and collisions. More advanced applications - including gravitational orbits and rigid body dynamics - are discussed after the limitations of Newton's inertial frames have been highlighted through an exposition of Einstein's Special Relativity. Examples given throughout are often unusual for an elementary text, but are made accessible to the reader through discussion and ... Read more
