This textbook provides a thorough introduction to Newtonian Mechanics and is intended for university students in physics, astronomy and engineering. It is based on a course for which Dr. Knudsen earned an award as the best introductory course at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. About 109 problems with solutions and 84 worked examples help the student to grasp the essential aspects of the subject, and to develop proficiency in using the powerful methods of Newtonian Mechanics. Moreover, the problem of motion and the concept of inertial frames is faced from the very beginning, and runs through the entire development of classical mechanics. This new and fresh approach will give the student the best introduction to an important area of physics.

Review:

"The presentation of this book is excellent. half of it consists of worked examples...a useful reference for second year students studying mechanics" Australian and New Zealand Physicist

Synopsis:

This introductory textbook contains over 190 problems and numerous worked examples. Both the problem of motion and the concept of inertial frames are tackled from the beginning of the work, and are used as themes that run through the book's entire development of classical mechanics.
