商品描述

This is the fifth edition of a well-established textbook. It is intended to provide a thorough coverage of the fundamental principles and techniques of classical mechanics, an old subject that is at the base of all of physics, but in which there has also in recent years been rapid development. The book is aimed at undergraduate students of physics and applied mathematics. It emphasizes the basic principles, and aims to progress rapidly to the point of being able to handle physically and mathematically interesting problems, without getting bogged down in excessive formalism. Lagrangian methods are introduced at a relatively early stage, to get students to appreciate their use in simple contexts. Later chapters use Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods extensively, but in a way that aims to be accessible to undergraduates, while including modern developments at the appropriate level of detail. The subject has been developed considerably recently while retaining a truly central role for all students of physics and applied mathematics.This edition retains all the main features of the fourth edition, including the two chapters on geometry of dynamical systems and on order and chaos, and the new appendices on conics and on dynamical systems near a critical point. The material has been somewhat expanded, in particular to contrast continuous and discrete behaviours. A further appendix has been added on routes to chaos (period-doubling) and related discrete maps. The new edition has also been revised to give more emphasis to specific examples worked out in detail.Classical Mechanics is written for undergraduate students of physics or applied mathematics. It assumes some basic prior knowledge of the fundamental concepts and reasonable familiarity with elementary differential and integral calculus.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這是一本廣受好評的教科書的第五版。它旨在全面介紹古典力學的基本原理和技巧,這是物理學的基礎,但近年來也有快速發展。本書針對物理學和應用數學的本科生,強調基本原理,並旨在迅速進展到能夠處理具有物理和數學趣味的問題,而不陷入過多的形式主義。拉格朗日方法在較早的階段引入,以使學生能夠欣賞其在簡單情境中的應用。後面的章節廣泛使用拉格朗日和哈密頓方法,但以一種對本科生易於理解的方式呈現,同時包括適當細節的現代發展。這個主題最近有了很大的發展,同時對物理學和應用數學的所有學生仍然具有真正的核心地位。本版保留了第四版的所有主要特點,包括關於動力系統的幾何和秩序與混沌的兩章,以及關於圓錐曲線和臨界點附近動力系統的新附錄。內容有所擴充,特別是對連續和離散行為的對比。另外增加了一個關於混沌路徑(週期倍增)和相關離散映射的附錄。新版還進行了修訂,更加強調詳細解釋的具體例子。《古典力學》是為物理學或應用數學的本科生撰寫的。它假設讀者對基本概念有一些基本的先備知識,並對基礎微分和積分計算有合理的熟悉程度。
