A new title in the Manchester Physics Series, this introductory
text emphasises physical principles behind classical mechanics and
relativity. It assumes little in the way of prior knowledge,
introducing relevant mathematics and carefully developing it within
a physics context. Designed to provide a logical development of the
subject, the book is divided into four sections, introductory
material on dynamics, and special relativity, which is then
followed by more advanced coverage of dynamics and special
relativity. Each chapter includes problems ranging in difficulty
from simple to challenging with solutions for solving
problems.
- Includes solutions for solving problems
- Numerous worked examples included throughout the book
- Mathematics is carefully explained and developed within a physics environment
- Sensitive to topics that can appear daunting or confusing
