Featuring state-of-the-art computer based technology throughout, this comprehensive book on classical mechanics bridges the gap between introductory physics and quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and optics—giving readers a strong basis for their work in applied and pure sciences.Introduces Mathcad, using it in to do mathematical calculations, solve problems, make plots and graphs, and generally provide more in-depth coverage and a better understanding of physics. Pays special attention to such topics of modern interest as nonlinear oscillators, central force motion, collisions in CMCS, and horizontal wind circulation.For physicists and astronomers. Booknews A text and two disks presenting an account of classical mechanics at an intermediate level, for a two-semester or one-semester course at the sophomore or junior level. Coverage progresses from an introduction to Newtonian mechanics to the special theory of relativity. Particular attention is paid to nonlinear oscillators, central force motion, collisions on CMCS, horizontal wind circulation, and the relationship between conservative laws and symmetry principles. Includes chapter exercises and problems. This second edition incorporates MathCAD to solve most examples and create figures. Assumes previous courses in general physics and calculus.
