MECHANICS - FLORIAN SCHECK GEBUNDEN

This book covers all topics in mechanics from elementary Newtonian mechanics  the principles of
canonical mechanics and rigid body mechanics to relativistic mechanics and nonlinear dynamics.
It was among the first textbooks to include dynamical systems and deterministic chaos in due
detail. As compared to the previous editions the present 6th edition is updated and revised
with more explanations  additional examples and problems with solutions  together with new
sections on applications in science.Symmetries and invariance principles  the basic geometric
aspects of mechanics as well as elements of continuum mechanics also play an important role.
The book will enable the reader to develop general principles from which equations of motion
follow  to understand the importance of canonical mechanics and of symmetries as a basis for
quantum mechanics  and to get practice in using general theoretical concepts and tools that are
essential for all branches of physics.The book contains more than 150 problems with complete
solutions  as well as some practical examples which make moderate use of personal computers.
This will be appreciated in particular by students using this textbook to accompany lectures on
mechanics. The book ends with some historical notes on scientists who made important
contributions to the development of mechanics.
