This book - specifically developed as a novel textbook on
elementary classical mechanics - shows how analytical and numerical
methods can be seamlessly integrated to solve physics problems.
This approach allows students to solve more advanced and applied
problems at an earlier stage and equips them to deal with
real-world examples well beyond the typical special cases treated
in standard textbooks. Another advantage of this approach is that
students are brought closer to the way physics is actually
discovered and applied, as they are introduced right from the start
to a more exploratory way of understanding phenomena and of
developing their physical concepts. While not a requirement, it is
advantageous for the reader to have some prior knowledge of
scientific programming with a scripting-type language. This edition
of the book uses Python, and a chapter devoted to the basics of
scientific programming with Python is included. A parallel edition
using Matlab instead of Python is also available. Last but not
least, each chapter is accompanied by an extensive set of
course-tested exercises and solutions.
