Classical mechanics is one of those special intersections in science where interdisciplinary contributions come together to provide an elegant and penetrating example of modeling. Following Lagrangrian principles, the author employs mathematics not only as a unifying language, but also to exemplify its role as a catalyst for new concepts and discoveries, such as the d'Alembert principle, complex systems dynamics, and Hamiltonian mechanics. Today, these same dynamics are being focused to address other interdisciplinary areas of research in fields such as biology and chemistry. Offering a rigorous mathematical treatment of the subject and requiring of the reader only a solid background in introductory physics, multivariable calculus, and linear algebra, Classical Mechanics can serve as a text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in mathematics, physics, engineering, and the natural sciences, as well as an excellent reference for applied mathematicians and mathematical physicists.
