This book provides a comprehensive introduction to
the fundamental principles and concepts of Classical,
Newtonian, and Relativistic Mechanics. It seeks to
explain the basic concepts of these areas of physics
in a concise manner. The book is primarily meant to
serve the requirements of the first year
undergraduate (B.Sc.) students of physics.
The initial chapters of the book cover topics such as
vector calculus, coordinate systems, conservation laws
and frames of reference. The discussion then moves
on to inverse square law of forces, particle collisions,
and dynamics of rigid bodies. Universal frame of
reference and Special Theory of Relativity are the
major topics covered in the later chapters.
The book contains numerous illustrations and
plentiful numbers of solved examples that help the
student in understanding the relevant concepts clearly. A large number of chapter-end questions of
descriptive, short-answer, and numerical varieties
help to test the students` grasp of the topics covered.isbn-9788120337138
