The presentation of thermodynamics and quantum physics has been updated to supply a more modern approach, and therefore the end-of-chapter problem sets are thoroughly over-hauled: new problems added; out-dated reference deleted; and new short-answer conceptual questions added. The supplements package has been expanded to incorporate more materials for student and instructor. Written for the complete year or three term Calculus-based University Physics course for science and engineering majors, the publication of the primary edition of Physics in launched the fashionable era of Physics textbooks.
Physics is that the most realistic option for schools looking to show a more demanding course. This is the foremost comprehensive and detailed book on the market.
I have Schuam's outline of Lagrangian Dynamics, but didn't really find a lot of practice questions. Goldstein's book may be very appropriate for a first or second course on the topic, but I don't believe it displays a very formal approach to the subject. I'd suggest it to someone who's not interested in the mathematical structure of Mechanics.
Even though, good for a starter. Taylor's book has some very good exercises, but the book itself does not please me at all since it's informal, prolix and severely incomplete in most topics. Same goes to Marion's book, and even though Symon's is a little bit better, it didn't please me either. The best book in this list if definitely Landau's, but I don't find it as good as most people picture it.
I didn't read the whole Landau series not even half, actually , but until now it's the worst of them all, for me. It still carries much of the author's incredible insights and some very nice solved exercises, but as Arnol'd pointed out there are a some mistakes and fake demonstrations on the book. Don't trust all of his "proofs" and you'll be safe. Arnol'd's "Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics" : This book is simply the best book you can get your hands on after acquiring familiarity with the subject after a first course using Goldstein's or Landau's book, for example.
It's thorough, the maths are just clear and not extravagant, the proofs are very simple and you can get some contact with phase space structures, Lie algebras, differential geometry, exterior algebra and perturbation methods. Arnol'd's way of writing is incredibly clean, as if he really wanted to write a book with no "mysteries" and "conclusions that jump out of nowhere".
The exercises are not very suited for a course. A little more developed mathematically than Arnol'd's, since it delves into the structure of the cotangent bundle and spends a great deal of the book talking about chaos and Hamilton-Jacobi theory. The proofs are not very elegant, but I'd chose it as a textbook for a graduate course. Some nice exercises.
Fasano's "Analytical Dynamics" : Also a graduate-textbook-style one. Very close to Saletan's way of writing, trying to explain to physicists the mathematical nature of Mechanics without too much rigor, but developing proofs of many theorems. Very nice chapter of angular momentum, very nice exercises some of them, solved!
Incredibly nice introduction to Lie derivatives and canonical transformations, and very philosophically inclined chapters so to answer "why is this this way" or "what does that mean, really? Not suited at all as a textbook, more like a companion throughout life. The most philosophical, inquiring and historical Mechanics book ever written. If you want to read a very beautiful account on the the structure, the problems, the development and the birth of mechanical concepts I'd recommend this book without blinking.
It is a physics book: calculus and stuff, but looks like it were written by someone who liked to ask deep questions of the kind "why do we use this instead of this, and why is mathematics such a perfect language for physics? It's just amazing. Marsden's "Foundations of Mechanics" : This is the bible of Mechanics.
Since it's a bible, no one ever read it all or understood it all. Not to be used as textbook ever. It's a book aimed for mathematicians, but the mathematical physicist will learn a lot from it, since it's quite self contained in what touches the maths: they're all developed in the first two chapters.
Even though, very acidly developed. Hard to read, hard to understand, hard to grasp some proofs In general, hard to use. Even though, I really like some parts of if Chapter 7 is available for download as sample chapter in PDF format.
The laws of thermodynamics govern the flow of energy throughout the universe. In classical mechanics , Newton's laws of motion are three laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it.
The first law states that an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity , unless it is acted upon by an external force. The third law states that when one object exerts a force on a second object, that second object exerts a force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first object. The first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by a net external force.
Mathematically, this is equivalent to saying that if the net force on an object is zero, then the velocity of the object is constant. The ill-prepared Nazi forces were trapped in a bloody war of attrition against the Russian behemoth, and he knew perfectly well that he could not reconstruct a modern rifle such as was being turned out in the arsenals at Sari? Was he thinking of what had happened in high school.
