Advanced Classical Mechanics (Relié)

Advanced Classical Mechanics is designed to serve as a textbook for postgraduates, researchers of applied mathematics, theoretical physics and students of engineering who need a good understanding of classical mechanics. In this book emphasis has been placed on the logical ordering of topics and appropriate formulation of the key mathematical equations with a view to imparting a clear idea of the basic tools of the subject and improving the problem solving skills of the students.
The book provides a largely self-contained exposition of the topics with new ideas as a smooth continuation of the preceding ones. It is expected to give a systematic and comprehensive coverage of the methods of classical mechanics. Features : provides a unified exposition giving particular emphasis on the mathematical techniques involved ; very little prerequisites are assumed from the readers yet covering a wide range of important topics ; mathematical rigor is maintained in the presentation of the topics ; materials are presented in a self-contained way and each chapter ends with summary illustrating the main points covered ; contains a large number of solved problems.
