Description

This is a book on intermediate classical
mechanics. In this book, classical mechanics
is presented as a useful tool to analyze the
physical universe and also as the base on
which the whole pyramid of modern physics
has been erected. Various mechanical concepts
are developed in a highly logical manner,
with relatively thorough treatments on
mathematical procedures and many physically
interesting applications. Connections to more
modern theoretical developments (including
statistical physics, relativity, and quantum
mechanics) are emphasized.
