Contents:
Chapter 1: Introduction to classical mechanics -- Chapter 2: Forces -- Chapter 3: Energy -- Chapter 4: Momentum -- Chapter 5: Rotational motion, torque and angular momentum -- Chapter 6: General planar motion -- Chapter 7: General rotational motion -- Chapter 8: Oscillations -- Chapter 9: Waves -- Chapter 10: Einstein's postulates -- Chapter 11: Lorentz transformations -- Chapter 12: Spacetime diagrams -- Chapter 13: Position, energy and momentum in special relativity -- Chapter 14: Relativistic collisions -- Chapter 15: Relativistic forces and waves
Subject: In Mechanics and Relativity, the reader is taken on a tour through time and space. Starting from the basic axioms formulated by Newton and Einstein, the theory of motion at both the everyday and the highly relativistic level is developed without the need of prior knowledge. The relevant mathematics is provided in an appendix. The text contains various worked examples and a large number of original problems to help the reader develop an intuition for the physics. Applications covered in the book span a wide range of physical phenomena, including rocket motion, spinning tennis rackets and high-energy particle collisions.
