How Mechanics Shaped the Modern World: A Contextual Introduction to Concepts and Applications de David H. Allen

How Mechanics Shaped the Modern World: A Contextual Introduction to Concepts and Applications

Autor David H. Allen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 oct 2023
This updated and augmented second edition covers the history of mechanics in such a way as to explain how this all-important discipline shaped our world. Like the first edition, Dr. Allen presents the material in an engaging, accessible manner, with many historic insights and thorough explanations of attending concepts. The text retains its coverage of classical mechanics, essentially Newtonian mechanics, and adds chapters on three additional topics that go well beyond classical mechanics: relativity, quantum/nanomechanics, and biomechanics.
