Product Details
This textbook is part of theCornerstones series from Birkhäuser.
Continued from the back cover: "Using a pedagogical approach, the author covers many topics that are gradually developed and motivated by classical examples. Through 'Problems and Complements' sections at the end of each chapter, the work presents various equations in an extended presentation that is extremely useful for an interdisciplinary audience trying to master the subject. Beautiful illustrations, unique examples, and useful remarks are key features throughout the text.
"Classical Mechanics: Theory and Mathematical Modeling may serve as a textbook for advanced graduate students in mathematics, physics, engineering, and the natural sciences, as well as an excellent reference or self-study guide for applied mathematicians and mathematical physicists. Prerequisites include a working knowledge of linear algebra, multivariate calculus, the basic theory of ordinary differential equations, and elementary physics."
