Analytical mechanics

"Analytical Mechanics provides a detailed introduction to the key analytical techniques of classical mechanics, one of the cornerstones of physics. It deals with all the important subjects encountered in an undergraduate course and prepares the reader thoroughly for further study at the graduate level." "Many worked examples are given, and there are 250 homework exercises to help students gain confidence and proficiency in problem solving. It is an ideal textbook for undergraduate courses in classical mechanics and provides a sound foundation for graduate study."--BOOK JACKET.
