Elements of Hamiltonian Mechanics (International Series on Nuclear Energy)

...an impressive presentation of the inherent consistency and logic of classical mechanics.Jena Review Unfortunately, there seems to be very little time these days, in an undergraduate course in physics, to give a long thorough course in advanced classical mechanics. However, students need an understanding of many of the concepts of advanced classical mechanics, if they want to study quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, etc., in any great depth. Such students need at least a short course on the relevant topics. Dr. ter Haar's book, Elements of Hamiltonian Mechanics, is an ideal book for such a course.Contemporary PhysicsTer Haar, D. is the author of 'Elements of Hamiltonian Mechanics (International Series on Nuclear Energy)' with ISBN 9780080167268 and ISBN 0080167268.
