Classical Mechanics: From Newton to Einstein: A Modern Introduction

by Martin McCall

This new edition of Classical Mechanics , aimed at undergraduate physics and engineering students, presents ina user-friendly style an authoritative approach to the complementary subjects of classical mechanics and relativity. The text starts with a careful look at Newton's Laws, before applying them in one dimension to oscillations and collisions. More advanced applications - including gravitational orbits and rigid body dynamics - are discussed after the limitations of Newton's inertial frames have been highlighted through an exposition of Einstein's Special Relativity. Examples given throughout are often unusual for an elementary text, but are made accessible to the reader through discussion and diagrams. Updates and additions for this new edition A solutions manual is available

A readable, and understandable, book on this complicated subject. Included both classical and relativistic mechanics.

The copy I went through came from the library, and I am buying one of my own for future study.
