By (author) Fowles, Grant; By (author) Cassiday, George
Short description/annotation:
Provides an exposition of the fundamentals of classical mechanics. This book includes discussions which aid in student understanding of theoretical material through the use of specific cases. It is suitable for undergraduate Mechanics course.
Description:
With the direct, accessible, and pragmatic approach of Fowles and Cassiday''s ANALYTICAL MECHANICS, Seventh Edition, thoroughly revised for clarity and concision, students will grasp challenging concepts in introductory mechanics. A complete exposition of the fundamentals of classical mechanics, this proven and enduring introductory text is a standard for the undergraduate Mechanics course. Numerical worked examples increased students'' problem-solving skills, while textual discussions aid in student understanding of theoretical material through the use of specific cases.
