Newtonian Dynamics
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-1-032-04662-4 (ISBN)
Each chapter of the book ends with a large number of numerical and analytical exercises and, in all appropriate cases, the final answers to the exercises are specified. The large number of exercises will allow students to accurately test their understanding of the material presented in the book, ideal for students who are self-studying or are taking classes remotely.
Key Features:
Provides a brief and accessible introduction to a complex topic
Contains a more thorough treatment of the motions of heavenly bodies than conventional elementary mechanics texts
Provides a wealth of end-of-chapter exercises to test understanding
