Newtonian Mechanics - (Essentials of Physics) 2nd Edition by Derek Raine (Paperback)

About the Book

Newtonian mechanics is taught as part of every physics program for several reasons. It is a towering intellectual achievement; it has diverse applications; and it provides a context for teaching modelling and problem solving. This text gives equal prominence to all three missions. It therefore includes some advanced material as well as the customar
