Classical Mechanics with Mathematica®

Classical Mechanics with Mathematica®, 2nd Edition, is a textbook that connects classical analytic mechanics with differential geometric methods. Drawing on more than 30 years of teaching experience, the text surveys mechanical models from Newton to Hamilton alongside modern geometric formulations.

The book develops a mathematical framework grounded in linear algebra and differential geometry. It applies these methods to key physical systems, including kinematics, rigid body dynamics, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, and introductory fluid dynamics.

Intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in applied mathematics and physics, this volume in the Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology series provides nearly 200 exercises for student practice.
