商品描述
The third edition of Classical Mechanics presents a complete account of the classical mechanics of particles and systems for physics students at the advanced undergraduate level. The textbook evolved from a set of lecture notes for a course on the subject taught for many years by the author at California State University, Stanislaus. It assumes the reader has been exposed to a course in calculus and a calculus-based general physics course. However, no prior knowledge of differential equations is required. Differential equations and new mathematical methods are developed in the text as the occasion demands.
The book begins with fundamental concepts, such as velocity and acceleration. Vectors are used from the start. Unlike conventional textbooks, this textbook introduces Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of mechanics early on, enabling students to develop confidence in these essential methods. Special note is given to concepts instrumental in the development of modern physics, including the relationship between symmetries and the laws of conservation. Applications to other branches of physics are also included wherever possible. Generalized coordinates are covered to enable discussion of Lagrangian dynamics and Hamiltonian dynamics, which have important applications in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, celestial mechanics, and electrodynamics.
Key features:
- Lengthier sections in early chapters have been rewritten as short and easy-to-understand sections.
- Each chapter contains homework problems of varying degrees of difficulty to enhance understanding of the material in the text.
- Detailed but not overlong mathematical manipulations are provided.
- The essential topics can be covered in a one-semester, four-hour course.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
第三版的《經典力學》為高年級物理學生提供了粒子和系統的經典力學的完整介紹。這本教科書源自於作者在加州州立大學斯坦尼斯勞斯分校教授的課程講義,該課程已教授多年。書中假設讀者已接觸過微積分課程和基於微積分的一般物理課程。然而,並不需要具備微分方程的先前知識。微分方程和新的數學方法會根據需要在文本中進行發展。
本書從基本概念開始,例如速度和加速度。從一開始就使用向量。與傳統教科書不同,本教科書早期就引入拉格朗日和哈密頓的力學表述,使學生能夠對這些基本方法建立信心。特別注意了在現代物理發展中起重要作用的概念,包括對稱性與守恆定律之間的關係。書中也盡可能包含對其他物理分支的應用。涵蓋了廣義坐標,以便討論拉格朗日動力學和哈密頓動力學,這在量子力學、統計力學、天體力學和電動力學中具有重要應用。
主要特點:
- 早期章節中較長的部分已被重寫為簡短且易於理解的段落。
- 每章包含不同難度的作業題,以增強對文本材料的理解。
- 提供詳細但不過長的數學運算。
- 重要主題可以在一學期的四小時課程中涵蓋。
