Reviews

A book for beginning students of analytical mechanics, whether they be advanced undergraduates, graduate students or others wishing to learn more about mechanics through self-study. The book does a very nice job of shepherding the reader from Newtonian mechanics to Lagrangian mechanics ... . This book is a must-have library book for any mathematics or physics library. (Steven Deckelman, MAA Reviews, May 20, 2019)
