A concise graduate course of classical mechanics containing traditional material (Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics) as well as advanced topics of angular dynamics, dynamical chaos with and without dissipation, many-body relaxation processes, and different treatments of parametric resonance. The text is more detailed and less verbose, than average, and accompanied by problems with solutions. The book contains many numerical examples, illustrated graphically.
Contents:
- Newtonian Mechanics
- Lagrangian Mechanics
- Oscillations
- Rotational Motion of Rigid Bodies
- Hamiltonian Mechanics
- Dynamical Chaos
- Microscopic Origin of Dissipation
- Disk on a Plane
Readership: Graduate students for Mechanics courses and a reference for theoretical physicists.
