Analytic Mechanics

This book is based on Professor Riseborough's extensive lecture notes for his one-semester course in Classical Mechanics. The book describes several powerful and elegant approaches that have been developed since the initial formulation of the subject, including our new understanding of the structure of space-time. The book starts with the description of the motion of point particles and progresses to the description of continuous fields.

People learn new concepts by working through applications. The book contains numerous examples, with step-by-step explanations that should help them master the subject. The knowledge imparted by the book will enable an understanding of the transition from Classical Mechanics to Quantum Mechanics and Field Theories.
