The new edition of a classic text that concentrates on developing
general methods for studying the behavior of classical systems,
with extensive use of computation. We now know that there is much
more to classical mechanics than previously suspected. Derivations
of the equations of motion, the focus of traditional presentations
of mechanics, are just the beginning. This innovative textbook, now
in its second edition, concentrates on developing general methods
for studying the behavior of classical systems, whether or not they
have a symbolic solution. It focuses on the phenomenon of motion
and makes extensive use of computer simulation in its explorations
of the topic. It weaves recent discoveries in nonlinear dynamics
throughout the text, rather than presenting them as an
afterthought. Explorations of phenomena such as the transition to
chaos, nonlinear resonances, and resonance overlap to help the
student develop appropriate analytic tools for understanding. The
book uses computation to constrain notation, to capture and
formalize methods, and for simulation and symbolic analysis. The
requirement that the computer be able to interpret any expression
provides the student with strict and immediate feedback about
whether an expression is correctly formulated. This second edition
has been updated throughout, with revisions that reflect insights
gained by the authors from using the text every year at MIT. In
addition, because of substantial software improvements, this
edition provides algebraic proofs of more generality than those in
the previous edition; this improvement permeates the new edition.
