Predicting Motion presents the core ideas of Newtonian mechanics,
starting from Newton's laws and the idea that changes in motion are
predictable given the forces that cause them. Richly illustrated
with questions and answers for self-assessment, it carefully
introduces concepts, such as kinetics and potential energy, linear
momentum, torque (the rotational analogue of force), and angular
momentum, and explains their role in predicting motion. Although no
prior knowledge of this topic is required, the book focuses on the
significance of differential equations in making such predictions.
It also provides an up-to-date treatment of mechanics with accounts
of relativistic collisions and the implications of chaos theory for
the future of the solar system and for galaxies that contain black
holes.
