CLASSIC - Theoretical Mechanics an Introduction to Mathematical Physics; Ames

Description: CLASSIC; Theoretical Mechanics an Introduction to Mathematical Physics By Ames and Murnaghan Copyright 1929 Renewed 1957 Dover Edition 1958, unabridged and unaltered republication of the original work published by Ginn and Company in 1929 through special arrangements. Soft Cover 462 Pages No Marks, No Underlining, Appears to Be Unread Like New From 1958, Rarely Seen in Such Pristine Condition after 65 years.. Preface excerpt: Owing to the notable advances in mathematical physics in recent years doing large part to the introduction of the quantum principle and the principles of relativity, there has been a great stimulus in the study of theoretical mechanics. .. It is realized that there are many students who are not associated with institutions where advanced instruction is given and who feel the need of this new knowledge concerning theoretical mechanics. Consequently this book has been written so that it may be read by any competent student without the aid of an instructor, and numerous problems have been introduced. If the book is used with a class the instructor may devote time to extending the subject or to the discussion of new applications. In pursuit of the same purpose, and attempt is made to give rigorous proofs of theorems and formulas so that a student, if he, she, is not proficient in mathematics, they may obtain a clearer idea of what is needed in a mathematical science. The student should bear in mind that if he, she, wishes to proceed to more serious study of any of the more advanced fields of modern physics, such as statistical mechanics, quantum dynamics, atomic theory, etc, there is no chapter which will not prove useful. Table of Contents Vector Analysis The Displacement and Motion of a Rigid Body Dynamics The Dynamics of a Particle, Harmonic Vibrations Problems of Non-Rectilinear Motion of a Particle Central Forces, Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
