Solved Problems in Classical Mechanics: Analytical and Numerical Solutions with Comments - Owen De Lange

. .

Résumé :
This book consists of questions, solutions and comments on topics in undergraduate and graduate courses in classical mechanics. Both analytical and numerical (computer) techniques are used to obtain and analyze solutions. Computer calculations use Mathematica, with code provided in the text, including that for interactive, time-dependent studies.
