| Summary |
"Recent advances in the study of dynamical systems have revolutionized the way that classical mechanics is taught and understood. Classical Dynamics: A Contemporary Approach is a new and comprehensive textbook that provides a complete description of this fundamental branch of physics." "It will be an ideal textbook for graduate students of physics, applied mathematics, theoretical chemistry, and engineering, and will also serve as a useful reference for researchers in these fields."--BOOK JACKET |
