Classical Mechanics

The book "Classical Mechanics" offers a comprehensive yet concise introduction to classical mechanics and the theory of relativity. It is aimed at readers with basic mathematical knowledge, as only elementary calculus and simple vectors are assumed. The text begins with a detailed examination of Newton's laws and applies them to one-dimensional motions such as oscillations and collisions. Advanced topics such as gravitational orbits, the dynamics of rigid bodies, and mechanics in rotating reference frames are addressed after the limitations of Newtonian inertial systems are highlighted through an introduction to special relativity. The book places great emphasis on practical examples and includes numerous interesting exercises as well as a chapter with important review notes. Additionally, a new section on computer-assisted dynamics is presented, making the book a unique blend of classical mechanics and relativity.
