Classical mechanics: prominent branches and fundamental concepts -- Rotational and circular motion -- Translational and oscillatory motion -- Formulations of classical mechanics -- Understanding special relativity.
"Classical mechanics is the science that is concerned with the motion of macroscopic objects, such as projectiles and celestial objects, such as planets, stars, galaxies and spacecraft. It is the approach that is generally adopted for the study massive object that move at speeds smaller than the speed of light. In classical mechanics, objects are modeled as point particles, which are characterized by parameter like mass, position and the forces that act on it. Statics dynamics and kinematics are the primary branches of classical mechanics. Based on mathematical formalism, classical mechanics can be classified as Newtonian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging form the basic to the most complex complex theories and principles in the field of classical mechanics. It presents this complex subject in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. For someone with an interest and eye for detail, this book covers the most significant topics in classical mechanics."--Back cover
