This two-part text supplies a lucid, self-contained account of classical mechanics and provides a natural framework for introducing advanced mathematical concepts in physics. Topics include Lagrangian dynamics, Hamiltonian dynamics, fluids and sound and surface waves, more. 165 figures. 2 tables. 1980 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, 1980.
Here's a sample of other books in this Dover category
Continuum Mechanics: Concise Theory and Problems by P. Chadwick Comprehensive treatment offers 115 solved problems and exercises to promote understanding of vector and tensor theory, basic kinematics, balance laws, field equations, jump conditions, and constitutive equations.
Weak Interactions and Modern Particle Theory by Howard Georgi This high-level, rigorous, and technical treatment was written by a distinguished teacher and researcher. Equally valuable as a text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students and as a reference for professionals. 1984 edition.
Finite Elements of Nonlinear Continua by J. T. Oden This text treats both theory and applications from a general and unifying point of view, with particular focus on nonlinear problems in finite elasticity, viscoelasticity, heat conduction, and thermoviscoelasticity. 1972 edition.
Nonlinear Mechanics: A Supplement to Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua by Alexander L. Fetter, John Dirk Walecka In their prior Dover book, the authors provided a self-contained account of classical mechanics; this supplement/update offers a bridge to contemporary mechanics. Topics include nonlinear continuous systems. 2006 edition.
