Synopsis

This book contains the exercises from the classical mechanics text Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics, together with their complete solutions. It is intended primarily for instructors who are using Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics in their course, but it may also be used, together with that text, by those who are studying mechanics on their own.

About this title

Review:

I like the book because of the clear precision with which it expresses the results it eventually arrives at, the straightforward ways in which it illustrates the use of these results, and the sets of nontrivial end-chapter exercises that provide a rich opportunity to verity one s own grasp of the methods to which one is introduced in the text. --Am. J. Phys.

It is a nice and well-written book ... there is a good supply of exercises and worked examples that render this little handbook a useful tool for all those who would like to learn and understand something about mechanics. --Mathematics Abstracts
