About this title

Synopsis

This text provides an account of classical mechanics at an intermediate undergraduate level. Presuming adequate preparation in general physics and calculus, the text bridges the gap between the introductory physics course and the more advanced course in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and optics. The text includes coverage pf non-linear oscillators, central force Motion, the capture of comets, satellite orbits and manoeuvres, the stability of circular orbits, collisons in CMCS, horizontal wind circulation-weather systems and the relations between conservation laws and symmetry principles. It also includes about 75 worked examples designed to build student confidence in problem-solving.

From the Back Cover

Featuring state-of-the-art computer based technology throughout, this comprehensive book on classical mechanics bridges the gap between introductory physics and quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and optics--giving readers a strong basis for their work in applied and pure sciences.Introduces Mathcad, using it in to do mathematical calculations, solve problems, make plots and graphs, and generally provide more in-depth coverage and a better understanding of physics. Pays special attention to such topics of modern interest as nonlinear oscillators, central force motion, collisions in CMCS, and horizontal wind circulation. For physicists and astronomers.
