This book covers all topics in mechanics from elementary Newtonian
mechanics, the principles of canonical mechanics and rigid body
mechanics to relativistic mechanics and nonlinear dynamics. It was
among the first textbooks to include dynamical systems and
deterministic chaos in due detail. As compared to the previous
editions the present 6th edition is updated and revised with more
explanations, additional examples and problems with solutions,
together with new sections on applications in science. Symmetries
and invariance principles, the basic geometric aspects of mechanics
as well as elements of continuum mechanics also play an important
role. The book will enable the reader to develop general principles
from which equations of motion follow, to understand the importance
of canonical mechanics and of symmetries as a basis for quantum
mechanics, and to get practice in using general theoretical
concepts and tools that are essential for all branches of physics.
The book contains more than 150 problems with complete solutions,
as well as some practical examples which make moderate use of
personal computers. This will be appreciated in particular by
students using this textbook to accompany lectures on mechanics.
The book ends with some historical notes on scientists who made
important contributions to the development of mechanics.
