The book begins with vector analysis which should be treated as a resource chapter. The concept of the rate of change of a vector plays an important role throughout mechanics. Analytical as well as geometrical treatment of vectors are presented for visualisation of the dynamical motions specifically of rotational dynamics. Rotating coordinate system is used to illustrate the nature of non-inertial coordinate systems to avoid confusion between forces and accelerations. The book also attempts to
emphasise the connection between relativity and classical thought in a separate chapter on the Special Theory of Relativity.
Contents Vector analysis; Motion of a particle; Central force; Gravity and the two-body problem; Scattering; Motion in non- inertial frames; Motion of a rigid body; Dynamics of a rigid body; Lagrange and Hamilton equations; Motion of fluids; Special Theory of Relativity; Four vectors and relativistic invariance.
