In many fields of modern physics, classical mechanics plays a key
role. However, the teaching of mechanics at the undergraduate level
often confines the applications to old-fashioned devices such as
combinations of springs and masses, pendulums, or rolling
cylinders.This book provides an illustration of classical mechanics
in the form of problems (at undergraduate level) inspired - for the
most part - by contemporary research in physics, and resulting from
the teaching and research experience of the authors. A noticeable
feature of this book is that it emphasizes the experimental aspects
of a large majority of problems. All problems are accompanied by
detailed solutions: the calculations are clarified and their
physical significance commented on in-depth. Within the solutions,
the basic concepts from undergraduate lectures in classical
mechanics, necessary to solve the problems, are recalled when
needed. The authors systematically mention recent bibliographical
references (most of them freely accessible via the Internet)
allowing the reader to deepen their understanding of the subject,
and thus contributing to the building of a general culture in
physics.
