“From the very beginning the author makes sure that we do not forget
that many branches of physics have roots in classical mechanics, and in
many cases some chapters would make excellent introductions to tools
used in areas such as quantum mechanics, particle physics or
gravitation.” Contemporary Physics This text provides a pedagogical tour
through mechanics from Newton to Einstein with detailed explanations
and a large number of worked examples. From the very beginning
relativity is kept in mind, along with its relation to concepts of basic
mechanics, such as inertia, escape velocity, Newton's potential, Kepler
motion and curvature. The Lagrange and Hamilton formalisms are treated
in detail, and extensive applications to central forces and rigid bodies
are presented. After consideration of the motivation of relativity, the
essential tensor calculus is developed, and thereafter Einstein's
equation is solved for special cases with explicit presentation of
calculational steps. The combined treatment of classical mechanics and
relativity thus enables the reader to see the connection between
Newton's gravitational potential, Kepler motion and Einstein's
corrections, as well as diverse aspects of mechanics. The text addresses
students and others pursuing a course in classical mechanics, as well
as those interested in a detailed course on relativity.
