Dieses didaktisch aufgebaute Lehrbuch bietet Studenten der Physik an Universitäten sowie Maschinenbaustudenten an technischen Hochschulen eine umfassende Einführung in das Gebiet der Newtonschen Mechanik.
Das Problem der fortschreitenden Bewegung und das Konzept des internationalen Koordinatensystems wird von seinen Anfägen an aufgezeigt und durch die gesamte Entwicklung der klassischen Mechanik verfolgt.
131 Übungen mit Lösungen und 89 durchgerechnete Beispiele helfen dem Studenten, die wesentlichen Aspekte zu überschauen und die wirksamen Methoden der Newtonschen Mechanik sicher anzuwenden.
This textbook provides a thorough introduction to Newtonian Mechanics and is intended for university students in physics, astronomy and engineering. It is based on a course for which the author earned an award as the best introductory course at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
About 130 problems with solutions and 89 worked examples help the students to grasp the essential aspects of the subject, and to develop proficiency in using the powerful methods of Newtonian Mechanics.
Moreover, the problem of motion and the concept of inertial frames is faced from the very beginning, and runs through the entire development of classical mechanics.
This new and fresh approach will give the student the best introduction to an important area of physics.
In the third edition a number of minor misprints that appeared in the second edition have have been corrected. Furthermore, 17 new problems have been added, at the end of chapters 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14. The answers to these 17 problems have not been listed in the 'Answers' section at the end of the book. This will permit the problems to be used as hand-in problems or perhaps in mid-term exams. JMK EUR9 PGH Copenhagen May 2000 Preface to the Second Edition In the second edition, a number of misprints that appeared in the first edition have been corrected. In addition to this, we have made improvements based on the experience gathered in the use of the first English edition of the book in the introductory course in physics at the University of Copenhagen. A chapter introducing nonlinear dynamics has been added. The purpose of this chapter is to provide supplementary reading for the students who are interested in this area of active research, where Newtonian mechanics plays an essential role. The students who wish to dig deeper, should consult texts dedicated to the study of nonlinear dynamical systems and chaos. The literature list at the end of this book contains several references for the topic.
