Beschreibung

This textbook covers all the standard introductory topics in classical mechanics, including Newton's laws, oscillations, energy, momentum, angular momentum, planetary motion, and special relativity. It also explores more advanced topics, such as normal modes, the Lagrangian method, gyroscopic motion, fictitious forces, 4-vectors, and general relativity. It contains more than 250 problems with detailed solutions so students can easily check their understanding of the topic. There are also over 350 unworked exercises which are ideal for homework assignments. Password protected solutions are available to instructors at [...] The vast number of problems alone makes it an ideal supplementary text for all levels of undergraduate physics courses in classical mechanics. Remarks are scattered throughout the text, discussing issues that are often glossed over in other textbooks, and it is thoroughly illustrated with more than 600 figures to help demonstrate key concepts.

Über den Autor

David Morin is a Senior Lecturer and the Co-Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Physics Department at Harvard University. He is the author of six books on math and physics. This is his first foray into poetry, although a hearty collection of physics limericks does appear in one of his other books. When not writing textbooks, thinking of rhymes, or conjuring up new math and physics problems, he can be found running along the Charles River, biking through the suburbs of Boston, or hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
