Classical Mechanics: Lecture Notes and Problems (Essential Graduate Physics) by Konstantin K. Likharev

Despite its briefness (252 pp.), this textbook includes not only the material traditional for one-semester graduate courses on classical mechanics but also concise chapters on deformations and elasticity, fluid mechanics, and deterministic chaos, as well as 202 exercise problems. It is Part CM of K. Likharev’s Essential Graduate Physics series of lecture notes and problems. Besides this volume, it also includes three other subject parts: Part EM: Classical Electrodynamics, Part QM: Quantum Mechanics, Part SM: Statistical Mechanics, the common Front Matter (a copyright statement, two prefaces, a list of notation, and the general table of contents), two appendices, and a list of references. Electronic versions of all materials of this series, with some color elements in graphics, are in open access at mirror sites http://commons.library.stonybrook.edu/egp/, Read more
