What is Classical Mechanics : a Modern Introduction about?

Classical Mechanics Is A Clear Introduction To The Subject, Combining A User-friendly Style With An Authoritative Approach, Whilst Requiring Minimal Prerequisite Mathematics - Only Elementary Calculus And Simple Vectors Are Presumed. The Text Starts With A Careful Look At Newton's Laws, Before Applying Them In One Dimension To Oscillations And Collisions. More Advanced Applications - Including Gravitational Orbits, Rigid Body Dynamics And Mechanics In Rotating Frames - Are Deferred Until After The Limitations Of Newton's Inertial Frames Have Been Highlighted Through An Exposition Of Einstein's Special Relativity. The Examples Given Throughout Are Often Unusual For An Elementary Text, Although They Are Made Accessible Through Discussion And Diagrams.--jacket.
