Publisher's Synopsis
This title includes the often-neglected topics of relativistic scattering, non-linear oscillatory systems, canonical perturbation theory and vibrations of continuous systems. A special feature of this book is the inclusion of more than two hundred examples and worked problems. The second edition is thoroughly revised in particular the chapters on Special Theory of Relativity and Relativistic Mechanics are rewritten with the metric (1, -1, -1, -1).
