Publisher's Synopsis
This text provides an account of classical mechanics at an intermediate undergraduate level. Presuming adequate preparation in general physics and calculus, the text bridges the gap between the introductory physics course and the more advanced course in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and optics.;The text includes coverage pf non-linear oscillators, central force Motion, the capture of comets, satellite orbits and manoeuvres, the stability of circular orbits, collisons in CMCS, horizontal wind circulation-weather systems and the relations between conservation laws and symmetry principles. It also includes about 75 worked examples designed to build student confidence in problem-solving.
