| Description: |
In its expanded and improved 3rd edition, this work describes the fundamental principles, problems, and methods of classical mechanics. The authors stress the working apparatus of classical mechanics, rather than its physical foundations or applications. |
| Synopsis: |
The main purpose of the book is to acquaint mathematicians, physicists and engineers with classical mechanics as a whole, in both its traditional and its contemporary aspects. As such, it describes the fundamental principles, problems, and methods of classical mechanics, with the emphasis firmly laid on the working apparatus, rather than the physical foundations or applications. Chapters cover the n-body problem, symmetry groups of mechanical systems and the corresponding conservation laws, the problem of the integrability of the equations of motion, the theory of oscillations and perturbation theory. |
