Mechanics is one of the oldest and at the same time newest
disciplines, in the sense that there are methods and principles
developed first in mechanics but now widely used in almost all
branches of physics: electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, classical
and quantum field theory, special and general theory of relativity,
etc. More than that, there are some formalisms like Lagrangian and
Hamiltonian approaches, which represent the key stone for the
development of the above-mentioned disciplines.
During the last 20-25 years, classical mechanics has undergone
an important revival associated with the progress in non-linear
dynamics, applications of Noether's theorem and the extension of
variational principles in various interdisciplinary sciences (for
instance, magnetofluid dynamics). Thus, there ought to exist a book
concerned with the applied analytical formalism, first developed in
the frame of theoretical mechanics, which has proved to be one of
the most efficient tools of investigation in the entire arena of
science.
The present book is an outcome of the authors' teaching
experience over many years in different countries and for different
students studying diverse fields of physics. The book is intended
for students at the level of undergraduate and graduate studies in
physics, engineering, astronomy, applied mathematics and for
researchers working in related subjects.
We hope that the original presentation and the distribution of
the topics, the various applications in many branches of physics
and the set of more than 100 proposed problems, shall make this
book a comprehensive and useful tool for students and
researchers.
