This textbook provides an introduction to classical mechanics at a level intermediate between the typical undergraduate and advanced graduate level. This text describes the background and tools for use in the fields of modern physics, such as quantum mechanics, astrophysics, particle physics, and relativity. Students who have had basic undergraduate classical mechanics or who have a good understanding of the mathematical methods of physics will benefit from this book.
The book deals with the mechanics of particles and rigid bodies.
ClassicalMechanics is intended for students who have studied some mechanics in anintroductory physics course.With unusual clarity, the book covers most of the topics normally found in books at this level.
Examples of time - dependent conservation laws for five dimensional flows are given in Sneddon's treatment of the solution of nonlinear partial differential equations in two variables by Cauchy's method of characteristic strips ( 1957 ) ...
Classical Mechanics
(7.97) This is the Rutherford-scattering differential-cross-section formula. Around 1910, Rutherford and his students bombarded metal foils with alpha particles. Their results for the distribution of scattering angles were consistent ...
This new edition of Classical Mechanics, aimed at undergraduate physics and engineering students, presents ina user-friendly style an authoritative approach to the complementary subjects of classical mechanics and relativity.
This book is written with the belief that classical mechanics, as a theoretical discipline, possesses an inherent beauty, depth, and richness that far transcends its immediate applications in mechanical systems.

The text is supported by practice problem sets to help students check their understanding of the concepts.
Due to the high number of exercises at the end of each chapter and their solutions the work is valuable for self-study.
