Description

A Student's Guide to Analytical Mechanics by John L. Bohn is a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical tools used to describe a wide range of physical systems. This guide offers a powerful alternative to Newtonian mechanics, providing a more intuitive approach to the abstract topic of analytical mechanics.

The book explains the mathematical theory underlying analytical mechanics, helping students to formulate, solve and interpret complex problems using these analytical tools. Each chapter begins with an example of a physical system to illustrate the theoretical steps to be developed in that chapter, and ends with a set of exercises to further develop students' understanding.

The book presents the fundamentals of the subject in depth before extending the theory to more elaborate systems, and includes a further reading section to ensure that this is an accessible companion to all standard textbooks.
