Intermediate Dynamics

Autor Patrick Hamill
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 apr 2022
This advanced undergraduate physics textbook presents an accessible treatment of classical mechanics using plain language and clear examples. While comprehensive, the book can be tailored to a one-semester course. An early introduction of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms gives students an opportunity to utilize these important techniques in the easily visualized context of classical mechanics. The inclusion of 321 simple in-chapter exercises, 82 worked examples, 550 more challenging end-of-chapter problems, and 65 computational projects reinforce students' understanding of key physical concepts and give instructors freedom to choose from a wide variety of assessment and support materials. This new edition has been reorganized. Numerous sections were rewritten. New problems, a chapter on fluid dynamics, and brief optional studies of advanced topics such as general relativity and orbital mechanics have been incorporated. Online resources include a solutions manual for instructors, lecture slides, and a set of student-oriented video lectures.

Recenzii

'Nominally a textbook, this excellent treatise on modern dynamics - carefully packed with interesting and informative exercises, problems, computational projects, and wonderful figures - can serve also as a tutorial for readers at a wide range of levels. In addition to comprehensive development of intermediate-level topics, chapters on special relativity and non-linear 'chaotic' systems will prepare readers for advanced topics in modern classical mechanics. An engaging and informal style facilitates understanding of even the most complex topics.' Jeffrey Scargle, Astrobiology and Space Science Division, NASA Ames Research Center
'Professor Hamill's textbook, Intermediate Dynamics, lives up to his belief of 'learning by doing.' His presentation of classical mechanics flows logically and clearly from basic concepts to complex subjects in the field, including fluid dynamics and chaos, which are normally excluded from standard textbooks. Most importantly, the full narrative is closely followed by worked examples explained in detail, strengthening the understanding of the concepts. Sections of content are immediately followed by exercises, further solidifying concepts. An excellent book for advanced students.' Carlos Salgado, Norfolk State University
'Hamill's excellent book brings to bear a career of student-oriented and breezy pedagogical wisdom on the subject, which is a pleasure to engage with.' Thomas Gutierrez, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo
'A very well-written text on classical mechanics and a perfect choice for an intermediate-level undergraduate course. The author covers all key topics, including symmetries and conservation laws, and additional advanced topics on chaos, waves, and oscillations. Numerous exercises and computational projects help students to strengthen their understanding of the subject. I am happy to highly recommend this text.' Andrei Afanasev, George Washington University
