Publisher's Synopsis
Classical Mechanics discusses the fundamental topics in fourteen chapters beginning with a brief review of principles of mechanics in chapter one. The next two chapters present the equation of motion and reference frames, followed by two chapters on Lagrange's equation and Hamilton's equations. Conservation laws, two-body central problem, collisions are also elucidated. Transformation theory, Poissons' brackets and Hamilton-Jacobi equation, small oscillations motion of a rigid body and relativistic mechanics form the balance chapters.
