For 30 years, this book has been the acknowledged standard in advanced classical mechanics courses. This classic book enables readers to make connections between classical and modern physics — an indispensable part of a physicist's education. In this new edition, Beams Medal winner Charles Poole and John Safko have updated the book to include the latest topics, applications, and notation to reflect today's physics curriculum.
Covering all the major topics in mechanics, this text includes material reflecting advances in nonlinear dynamics, chaos and fractal geometries. Nonintegral problems have been added and relativity notation has been changed to conform to modern usage.
