Classical Mechanics

By: Contributor(s): Language: English Publication details: Pearson 2011 Uttar PradeshEdition: 3rd edDescription: 646p. illISBN:
  • 9788131758915
Subject(s): Summary: For 30 years, this classic text has been the acknowledged standard in classical mechanics courses. Classical Mechanics enables students to make connections between classical and modern physics - an indispensable part of a physicist's education. The authors have updated the topics, applications, and notations to reflect today's physics curriculum. They introduce students to the increasingly important role that nonlinearities play in contemporary applications of classical mechanics. New numerical exercises help students develop skills in the use of computer techniques to solve problems in physics. Mathematical techniques are presented in detail so that the text remains fully accessible to students who have not had an intermediate course in classical mechanics. FEATURES ◆ The classical approach of this leading text book has been revised and updated ◆ A section on the Euler and Lagrange exact solutions to the three-body problem ◆ A section on the damped driven oscillator as an example of the workings of the Josephson junction ◆ Chapter on canonical perturbation theory has been streamlined and the mathematics has been simplified ◆ Approximately 45 new problems, mostly in Chapters 1-8 and 11 ◆ Problems sets are now divided into "Derivations" and "Exercises" ◆Solutions for 19 select problems have been provided in Appendix C
