Recent advances in the study of dynamical systems have revolutionized the way that classical mechanics is taught and understood. Classical A Contemporary Approach is a new and comprehensive textbook that provides a complete description of this fundamental branch of physics. It will be an ideal textbook for graduate students of physics, applied mathematics, theoretical chemistry, and engineering, and will also serve as a useful reference for researchers in these fields.
One of the best and most complete textbooks I've ever come across for Classical Mechanics. It's outrageous to even think of using Goldstein's book, when you have a golden standard like this one for Advanced Undergraduate and Graduate courses.
What this book does best is that it provides the reader with excellent geometrical insight, which helps develop a real intuition for the subject and also spot what's missing. This helps while dealing with theories like Relativity and Non Linearity, to which this textbook also provides excellent introductions.
