For more than 30 years, Classical Mechanics has been the standard text for senior and graduate level courses on the subject. This revision retains all the best features of the Second Edition while including new material reflecting advances in nonlinear dynamics, chaos, and fractal geometries.*The text includes comprehensive coverage of all the major topics in mechanics*A new Chapter 10 on nonlinear dynamics and chaos brings the content up to date*Chapter 3 includes a new section on the three-body problem that shows how the general equations can be written in a symmetric fashion, and offers closed form solutions of these equations for two special sets of initial conditions*Chapter 6, Small Oscillations, now includes a description of oscillations in general, and a section on the damped driven pendulum, a device of importance as an analogue of Josephson junctions in superconductivity*Nonintegral problems have been added*Relativity notation has been changed to conform to modern usage*This updated edition no longer covers dated mathematics (i.e., dyadics) or the unnecessary material that had already prepared students for quantum mechanics
