Description: Mastery of classical mechanics is integral to the advanced study of physics and engineering. Classical Mechanics with MATLAB Applications is an essential resource for the undergraduate course in classical mechanics. Filled with comprehensive examples and thorough descriptions, this text guides students through the complex topics of rigid body motion, moving coordinate systems, Lagrangian dynamics, small vibrations, the Euler algorithm, and much more. Step-by-step illustrations, examples, and computational physics tools further enhance learning and understanding by demonstrating accessible ways of obtaining mathematical solutions. Each chapter also contains a section of MATLAB code to introduce programming scripts and modification of these scripts for the reproduction of graphs and simulations.
Key features:
• Provides a review of Newton’s laws, harmonic motion, motion beyond one dimension, vector calculus, systems of coordinates, central forces, and much more!
• Features the popular numerical Euler algorithm from the start and uses the more sophisticated Runge-Kutta method of solving differential equations in later chapters.
• Includes MATLAB scripts that become increasingly sophisticated with more advanced topics, such as binary systems, rocket motion, motion of rigid bodies, and Lagrangian dynamics.
• Includes a MATLAB tutorial in Appendix A.
• An Instructor’s Solutions Manual and complete Java source code are available online.
