Classical Mechanics teaches readers how to solve physics problems;
in other words, how to put math and physics together to obtain a
numerical or algebraic result and then interpret these results
physically. These skills are important and will be needed in more
advanced science and engineering courses. However, more important
than developing problem-solving skills and physical-interpretation
skills, the main purpose of this multi-volume series is to survey
the basic concepts of classical mechanics and to provide the reader
with a solid understanding of the foundational content knowledge of
classical mechanics. Classical Mechanics: The Universal Law of
Gravitation focuses on the notion that forces act through their
associated fields, which is first introduced when discussing
Newton's universal law of gravitation. A huge conceptual leap is
required from the reader: an object can cause another object to
move without even touching it. This is a difficult concept to
reconcile with our everyday experiences but it makes perfect sense
when we realize that is exactly how the Earth acts on us. Gravity
is able to pull on us even though we are not in direct contact with
the Earth. Also, the concept of super-position (and when it is
applicable) is introduced. Super-position is crucial to the
development of problem-solving skills so it will be illustrated in
a number of example problems.
