Sufficient attention is also devoted to topics outside of standard classical mechanics , such as special relativity.

Subject Edtech. It is intended to provide a thorough coverage of the fundamental principles and techniques of classical mechanics , an old subject that is at the base of all of physics, but in which there has also in recent years been rapid development.

A cylinder and any other object has a nonlinear limit in U as R goes to zero. Local inertial frames should be defined and explained. Forces are vectors while velocities and accelerations are not vectors, so forces cannot be created by transforming coordinates. This is the correct viewpoint.

Again, accelerations relative to local inertial frames have real, physical effects. I would hope that someone would write a short, correct introduction to classical mechanics without introducing mistakes in an attempt to say too much while knowing and understanding too little.

This is the clearest book on classical mechanics I have read. You have to understand the subject very well to be able to explain something very clearly. This is a testament to John R Taylor's understanding of the subject. To be honest if you come across unclear teachers or authors chances are they do not understand the subject as well as they should.

The five "reviews" before mine are all from undergraduate physics majors at Amherst College. All five students were in the same class, which used a pre-publication edition of Taylor's book. I think their reviews reflect these facts, and say more about the students than they do about the book. That being said, I also used pre-publication editions, but as a professor teaching the class. Before this book I had used the other "standards" Marion and Thorton, etc. Taylor's book is by far the best of all of them.

In fact I enjoyed it so much that I gave the author a lot of feedback about the material covered in the chapters and the problems. I wouldn't have spent all that time on the book if I didn't believe it was one of the best physics books I've ever read. I use the book in the Jr-Sr mechanics course at Bates College. Since our students have already had a semester of classical mechanics from the book by Kleppner and Kolenkow, I begin with Chapter Six in Taylor's book Calculus of Variations.

The presentation is meticulous, the concepts are explained clearly and correctly not always the case in other books , and the examples are carefully chosen. The problems are carefully chosen and carefully worded. Sometimes they present new material, e. I also have taught the first six chapters and they are very refreshing and well-written.

They are at just the right level for a student coming out of a calculus-based introductory physics course and, in addition, give a wonderful discussion of air resistance and viscious forces as they apply to automobiles, oil drops in the Millikan experiment, and many other practical situations.

The examples are quite interesting and informative, and it was refreshing to read Taylor's original treatment of this important yet often short-changed subject. Although this is a "first" edition, it comes after several pre-publication editions, all of which were class tested.

Consequently, material that students found hard to understand was rewritten, hints were added to some of the problems, and essentially all the typographical errors were discovered and corrected. So the book has none of the drawbacks usually associated with first editions. I especially enjoyed the optional chapter on Chaos. It is one of the best presentations of this potentially confusing subject I have ever read.

I have assigned chapters for independent study to undergraduate senior thesis majors. All of them have commented on how helpful the book was to them and how easy it was to understand on their own.

The clarity and readability of the book is so much better than anything else on the market that I confidently predict it will soon be the most widely used book on the subject.

Finally, to get an idea of the the clarity and excellence of John Taylor's work, be sure to look at the reviews on the store. This book is a decent textbook for studying classical mechanics.

Although I agree with the other reviewers that Taylor is verbose, he makes up for this with his clear and easy to read writing style.

As a result, I would say this book is ideal for self study and there are plenty of exercises with answers in the back of the book for one to check their work. If one is looking at this text for a self study book, I would say the prerequisite for this book is an introductory course in mechanics at the freshman level. In terms of mathematical preparation, I would say ideally you should be familiar with calculus up through vector analysis and the basics of differential equations.

Although Taylor attempts to develop both vector analysis and differential equations in the text and you could probably get by without them, I think knowing these subjects before hand will help you to focus on the physics better. The reason why I don't give this product 5 stars is that I think the level of this book could be a bit more sophisticated since it is primarily intended for a junior level mechanics courses.

For example, there isn't too much in the first five chapters that a third year physics major hasn't encountered before. Therefore, I would say that these chapters should only be given a quick once through just to review the material before proceeding to the more interesting later chapters.

Despite this fact, I still think that Taylor's text is a good book and would recommend it for anyone wanting to study classical mechanics at the undergraduate level. It will give you a solid understanding of the material and a good foundation for further study.

The author doesn't save space when a thorough introduction to a topic or problem is needed. Very often an intuitive explanation is given first, followed by a formal exposition, and then comes the real gem - a qualitative discussion of the mathematical results which brings physics again in the picture with full force.

The chapters on oscillations are outstanding, same as the exposition of generalized coordinates and generalized forces. Moog, John J. Gilbert, Rein V.
