UNDERGRADUATE LECTURE NOTES IN PHYSICS CLASSI...

This textbook teaches classical mechanics as one of the foundations of physics. It describes
the mechanical stability and motion in physical systems ranging from the molecular to the
galactic scale. Aside from the standard topics of mechanics in the physics curriculum  this
book includes an introduction to the theory of elasticity and its use in selected modern
engineering applications  e.g. dynamic mechanical analysis of viscoelastic materials. The text
also covers many aspects of numerical mechanics  ranging from the solution of ordinary
differential equations  including molecular dynamics simulation of many particle systems  to
the finite element method. Attendant Mathematica programs or parts thereof are provided in
conjunction with selected examples. Numerous links allow the reader to connect to related
subjects and research topics. Among others this includes statistical mechanics (separate
chapter)  quantum mechanics  space flight  galactic dynamics  friction  and vibration
spectroscopy. An introductory chapter compiles all essential mathematical tools  ranging from
coordinates to complex numbers. Completely solved problems and examples facilitate a thorough
understanding of the material.
