Prerequisites are only a basic familiarity with vectors, matrices, and elementary calculus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author's aim is to provide an understanding of Newtonian mechanics using the tools of modern algebra. The first chapters of the book introduce the fundamentals of the motion of rigid bodies: Newton's laws, forces, linear and angular momentum, and the conservation of energy. In the later chapters, the theory of Lagrangian mechanics is developed and extended to cover applications to impulsive forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the theory is illustrated with many worked examples and numerous exercises (some with solutions) are provided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Lunn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.19w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198534334\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39932097167475,"sku":"0198534337","price":134.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_b5fa878f-f294-4ebc-8a41-c867b5ea2bfa.jpg?v=1647789759","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/a-first-course-in-mechanics-9780198534334","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
