An Introduction to Mechanics Daniel Kleppner and Robert J. Kolenkow In the years since it was first published , this classic introductory textbook has established itself as one of the best-known and most highly regarded descriptions of Newtonian mechanics. Intended for undergraduate students with foundation skills in mathematics and a deep interest in physics, it systematically lays out the principles of mechanics: vectors, Newton's laws, momentum, energy, rotational motion, angular momentum and noninertial systems, and includes chapters on central force motion, the harmonic oscillator, and relativity. • Numerous worked examples demonstrate how the principles can be applied to a wide range of physical situations • over 200 challenging problems help students to apply physics principles to solving problems • More than 600 figures illustrate the topics under discussion
