This second edition is ideal for classical mechanics courses for first- and second-year undergraduates with foundation skills in mathematics.

A classic textbook on the principles of Newtonian mechanics for undergraduate students, accompanied by numerous worked examples and problems.

This textbook aims to provide a clear and concise set of lectures that take one from the introduction and application of Newton's laws up to Hamilton's principle of stationary action and the lagrangian mechanics of continuous systems. An extensive set of accessible problems enhances and extends the coverage.It serves as a prequel to the author's recently published book entitled Introduction to Electricity and Magnetism based on an introductory course taught sometime ago at Stanford with over 400 students enrolled. Both lectures assume a good, concurrent, course in calculus and familiarity with basic concepts in physics; the development is otherwise self-contained.A good introduction to the subject allows one to approach the many more intermediate and advanced texts with better understanding and a deeper sense of appreciation that both students and teachers alike can share.

This best-selling textbook presents the concepts of continuum mechanics, and the second edition includes additional explanations, examples and exercises.

This text describes advanced studies in applied mathematics and applied physics. The text includes a discussion of vector analysis followed by its applications in particle mechanics and mechanics of rigid bodies. Each chapter contains solved problems and examples which help to illustrate the principles discussed in the chapter. The last two chapters deal with Lagrange's theorem and Hamilton's theorem and their applications in calculus of variations - a mathematical tool, needed in the study of applied mathematics and applied physics.
