Reviews

'This book is intended for advanced undergraduate or graduate students in physics or applied mathematics and for researchers working in related subjects.' (Cristian Lazureanu, zbMATH 1422.70001, 2019) A book for beginning students of analytical mechanics, whether they be advanced undergraduates, graduate students or others wishing to learn more about mechanics through self-study. The book does a very nice job of shepherding the reader from Newtonian mechanics to Lagrangian mechanics ... . This book is a must-have library book for any mathematics or physics library.
