Overview
Kibble (theoretical physics, Imperial College London) and Berkshire (mathematics, Imperial College) cover fundamentals of classical mechanics in this text for undergraduate students of physics and applied mathematics. Material progresses to difficult problems without excessive formalism. Lagrangian methods are introduced at a relatively early stage, and later chapters use Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods in a way that is accessible to undergraduates. This fifth edition features expanded material on dynamical systems and on order and chaos. Familiarity with elementary differential and integral calculus is assumed. The book is distributed by World Scientific. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
