This textbook provides a simple introduction to mechanics for
students coming to the subject for the first time. The text is
based on courses given to first and second year undergraduates and
has been written with this audience very much in mind.
Prerequisites are only a basic familiarity with vectors, matrices,
and elementary calculus. The author's aim is to provide an
understanding of Newtonian mechanics using the tools of modern
algebra. The first chapters of the book introduce the fundamentals
of the motion of rigid bodies: Newton's laws, forces, linear and
angular momentum, and the conservation of energy. In the later
chapters the theory of Lagrangian mechanics is developed and
extended to cover applications to impulsive forces. Throughout the
theory is illustrated with many worked examples and numerous
exercises (some with solutions) are provided.
