General Interest Classical Mechanics Product Description"John Taylor has brought to his most recent book,Classical Mechanics, all of the clarity and insight that made hisIntroduction to Error Analysis a best-selling text.Classical Mechanics is intended for students who have studied some mechanics in an introductory physics course, such as freshman physics."" With unusual clarity, the book covers most of the topics normally found in books at this level, including conservation laws, oscillations, Lagrangian mechanics, two-body problems, non-inertial frames, rigid bodies, normal modes, chaos theory, Hamiltonian mechanics, and continuum mechanics. A particular highlight is the chapter on chaos, which focuses on a few simple systems, to give a truly comprehensible introduction to the concepts that we hear so much about. At the end of each chapter is a large selection of interesting problems for the student, 744 in all, classified by topic and approximate difficulty, and ranging from simple exercises to challenging computer projects. Adopted by more than 450 colleges and universities in the USA and Canada and translated into six languages, TaylorsClassical Mechanics is a thorough and very readable introduction to a subject that is 400 years old but as exciting today as ever. The author manages to convey that excitement as well as deep understanding and insight.ContentsPART I: THE ESSENTIALS 1. Newton's Laws of Motion 2. Projectiles and Charged Particles 3.

The clarity and readability of the book is so much better than anything else on the market, that I confidently predict this book will soon be the most widely used book on the subject in all American universities, and probably Canadian and European universities also." -- American Journal of Physics Book Review "American Journal of Physics, April 2004"Synopsis John Taylor has brought to his new book, Classical Mechanics, all of the clarity and insight that made his introduction to Error Analysis a best-selling text.
