Reviews

This book can be recommended to students and also to everyone involved in preparing an introductory course in advanced classical mechanics, due to the well-selected material and, even more so, the clear presentation. - Zentralblatt Math One of the most valuable aspects of the book - unfortunately rare among textbooks - is that we see an author in command of his subject who shares not just the bare facts but how he thinks about them and how all the pieces fit together. - MAA Reviews
