Summary

Honors Classical Mechanics: A Modern Approach

A modern introduction to classical mechanics that allows students to develop confidence, a broad mathematical tool kit, and a correct physical intuition while working in a collaborative and supportive environment

Undergraduate physics students must often “unlearn” aspects of classical mechanics as they progress through college and graduate school. This book, by introducing classical mechanics as the limiting case…

Critics Review

”“A radical reordering of the logical flow of classical mechanics, emphasizing that even the ‘mundane’ elements ultimately arise from the elegant structure of space and time. Students who want a deeper picture of why mechanics looks like it does will be inspired by this treatment.“—Robert Owen, Oberlin College”
