Short but has some interesting examples.......2002-03-16
This book, although short, is a fairly good overview of classical mechanics, which emphasizes more recent developments in the theory, such as chaotic dynamical systems. The authors do however remain concrete in their treatment, with real-world examples permeating the text. The details behind the theory of classical mechanics are presented very quickly in the book, and this might make the book difficult to read for students first exposed to mechanics at this level.
Chapter one is an introduction to motion in one dimension. After a brief review of Newton's laws, the authors solve some neat problems dealing with damping forces, one being the frictional force on a drag racer, and the other with aerodynamic drag on a parachute. They also treat the undamped and damped harmonic oscillator, and the discussion is very standard. The authors are careful to point out that some force laws are too complicated to be solved analytically, but that computing methods can be used to solve the cases that are not. Computational approaches are now the rule rather than the exception in problems in mechanics, and this trend will continue in the future.
After a short discussion of energy conservation, the authors introduce motion in three dimensions and give a fairly detailed overview of vector notation. Their approach to tensors though is kind of antiquated, for it motivates them via the outer product, which is reminiscent of the dyadic approach that is currently "out of fashion". The authors also discuss the simple pendulum, but do not of course introduce the elliptic curve solutions that accompany this problem. Such a treatment, however fascinating, would drive this book to a height that would make it inaccessible to the audience of students it addresses. Coupled harmonic oscillators are solved using the normal mode approach.
Lagrangian mechanics is introduced in chapter 3, but not from the standpoint of variational calculus at first. Instead the authors choose to present this formulation via generalized forces. They include a discussion of constraints, and give as an example the simple pendulum with a moving support. Only later do they give the Lagrangian formulation via variational calculus, and do so rather hurriedly. Hamilton's equations are derived, and it is shown (again briefly) how Legendre transformations enter into the formalism of Hamiltonian mechanics.
Conservation principles are then thought of as fundamental in the rest of the book, and the authors use momentum conservation to discuss elastic and inelastic collisions in chapter 4. Angular momentum conservation is then used in chapter 5 to discuss central forces and planetary motion. Kepler's laws are also discussed, and Rutherford scattering is discussed. All of the discussion is pretty standard and can be found in most textbooks on classical mechanics.
Rigid body mechanics makes its appearance in chapter 6, wherein the authors discuss the rotational equations of motion of many-particle systems and rigid bodies. A very brief discussion of gyroscopic mechanics is given, but the authors make up for this by explaining the motion of boomerangs. The discussion is fun to read and should satisfy the curious reader as to why a boomerang returns. And, after a discussion of how to calculate the moment of inertia, the authors give a neat introduction to the physics of billiards and the superball. The latter is a popular physics demonstration and the authors show how its motion differs from an ordinary smooth ball.
The difficult (and controversial) topic of accelerated coordinate systems is treated in chapter 7. The four famous "fictitious" forces are introduced, and to develop the reader's intution on these, the authors give a nice example dealing with the manufacture of telescope mirrors. The casting of the mirrors is a neat illustration of the famous Newtonian water pail experiment. The motion of the Foucault pendulum is also discussed briefly. Then after a discussion of principal axes and Euler's equations, the authors give another neat example, this time dealing with the motion of tennis rackets, which illustrates the motion of a rigid body with unequal principal moments of inertia. The physics of tops is then discussed, and in a manner which makes the underlying physics more intuitive for the reader. The authors make an attempt to understand the motion of the famous tippie-top, but don't really do so. The tippie-top is another popular demonstration in the classroom but its physics has eluded the best attempts, and this treatment is no exception. The flip times that are calculated are not in agreement at all with what is observed in the demonstration.
Chapter 8 is an overview of gravitational physics, and the authors show the effects of a body moving in a non-uniform gravitational field, with an example dealing with the tides. Interestingly, the authors attempt to introduce the general theory of relativity, and do so more at a level of elementary mathematics and arm-waving arguments, but the treatment is suitable at this level. The authors show the difference between the orbits predicted by general relativity and the Newtonian theory, i.e. the famous perihelion advance.
A brief overview of Newtonian cosmology is given in chapter 9, wherein the authors discuss the expansion of the universe and the cosmic redshift. After proving the virial theorem, they discuss the effects of dark matter on the rotations of spiral galaxies and groups of galaxies, which is currently a very hot topic in astrophysics.
The special theory of relativity is treated in chapter 10, and the discussion is very standard. Readers are introduced to relativistic mechanics and some of the counterintuitive physics of the theory.
The last chapter of the book is an introduction to non-linear dynamics and chaos. It is defined as sensitive dependence on initial conditions, although this is not a strong enough condition. The Duffing oscillator is offered as an example of chaotic behavior and the transition to chaos is studied as a function of the driving frequency. This brings up concepts from bifurcation theory, such as the idea of a strange attractor. Numerical analysis plays the dominant role in these theories.
Not good for the new-bee but a fair reference for the vet.......2000-08-08
This book made me violently angry for the first semester, the lagrangian is presented well, and the Foucault Pendulum is ok if it weren't for all the errors (not glaring missing d/dt in a couple places, if you know the material you pick it out quickly). NOTICE: IF YOU KNOW THE MATERIAL!! How is a new CM student supposed to do that!!! I did learn well because of the torture of surviving my CM class, the problems sets are pretty neat I will say, but vague at times and a HUGE array of difficulties, from "what's 2+2?" to problems that made me nauseous, and produced intantaneous narcolepsy. In hindsight I learned quite a bit and its a neat litle hand book for the Grad, but man its painful for the new student. I agree WHOLE HEARTIDLY that saying "HEY! this is a tensor" is ridiculous, a math appendix would do WONDERS, or having the Feynman lectures nearby as well. I'd say with some better editing and some more appendecies it would be a good book, beware though the book is TINY and the price is meaty.
Needs more examples.......1999-09-01
I had studied "Classical Dynamics" by Marion more than 25 years ago. At the time I found Marion to be a difficult leap from the relatively easy first courses. Most of the critism, I suspect, comes from hitting the cold water for the first time. I thought the authors did a good job of explaining the concepts I wanted to review. I do not know how I would have felt if this were a first reading as my textbook 25 years ago. The one suggestion I can make is a plea for more example problems worked in detail. Like most physics students, problem solving is the most difficult task to master and seeing the techniques used by the masters are not to be underestimated. Having spent years looking for the one book from which all is clear on first reading this one does not qualify. But it is a good beginning if you choose to stay in the water.
This book has too many errors.......1999-02-11
Of all the physics books, I have seen and used, this has the most errors in it. And they arn't just typeo's, this book also has conceptual errors in it. This book also has "unique" and sometimes cryptic ways of proving, and presenting concepts. This apparitly apeals to Professors who already know classical mechanics, but for the first time sudent it is quite troublesome. In short if you want a book you can trust, and you can learn the first time around from, don't choose this one. It has to be the worst physics text I have had inflected on me yet at this level.
Good, concise, compact and modern book........1998-07-19
Prof. Barger and Olsson show a new perspective in introducing the classical mechanics to junior level undergraduate in Physics. They successfully give a fresh treatment of mechanics by introducing the lagrangian in the earlier part of the book. Recommended for use in junior level mechanics physics.

Book Description
This book is devoted to the basic variational principles of mechanics, namely the Lagrange--D’Alembert differential variational principle and the Hamilton integral variational principle. These two variational principles form the basis of contemporary analytical mechanics, and from them the body of classical dynamics can be deductively derived as a part of physical theory.
In recent years variational techniques have evolved as powerful tools for the study of linear and nonlinear problems in conservative and nonconservative dynamical systems, as is emphasized in this book. Presented here are a wide range of possibilities for applying variational principles to numerous problems in analytical mechanics, including the Noether Theorem for finding conservation laws of conservative and nonconservative dynamical systems, the application of the Hamilton--Jacobi and field methods suitable for nonconservative dynamical systems, the variational approach to modern optimal control theory, and the application of variational methods to the stability and optimization of elastic rod theory.
Mathematical prerequisites are kept to a minimum, and the exposition is intended to be suggestive rather than mathematically rigorous. Each chapter begins with widely understood mathematical principles and unfolds systematically toward more advanced topics. Examples and novel applications are presented throughout to clarify and enhance the theory.
An Introduction to Modern Variational Techniques in Mechanics and Engineering will serve a broad audience of students, researchers, and professionals in analytical mechanics, applied variational calculus, optimal control, physics, and mechanical and aerospace engineering. The book may be used in graduate and senior undergraduate dynamics courses in engineering, applied mathematics, and physics departments, or it may also serve as a self-study reference text.

The authors have important exercises which are to be done using a computer to solve linear and nonlinear problems and to have a graphical representation of results. An extensive Appendix on computer methods from Fortran and Mathcad enhance the appeal of the book to meet current needs.
Book Description
For over a hundred years, the theory of water waves has been a source of intriguing and often difficult mathematical problems. Virtually every classical mathematical technique appears somewhere within its confines. Beginning with the introduction of the appropriate equations of fluid mechanics, the opening chapters of this text consider the classical problems in linear and nonlinear water-wave theory. This sets the stage for a study of more modern aspects, problems that give rise to soliton-type equations. The book closes with an introduction to the effects of viscosity. All the mathematical developments are presented in the most straightforward manner, with worked examples and simple cases carefully explained. Exercises, further reading, and historical notes on some of the important characters in the field round off the book and make this an ideal text for a beginning graduate course on water waves.

Book Description
The aim of the IV International Symposium on Hamiltonian Systems and Celestial Mechanics, HAMSYS-2001 was to join top researchers in the area of Celestial Mechanics, Hamiltonian systems and related topics in order to communicate new results and look forward for join research projects. For PhD students, this meeting offered also the opportunity of personal contact to help themselves in their own research, to call as well and promote the attention of young researchers and graduated students from our scientific community to the above topics, which are nowadays of interest and relevance in Celestial Mechanics and Hamiltonian dynamics. A glance to the achievements in the area in the last century came as a consequence of joint discussions in the workshop sessions, new problems were presented and lines of future research were delineated. Specific discussion topics included: New periodic orbits and choreographies in the n-body problem, singularities in few body problems, central configurations, restricted three body problem, geometrical mechanics, dynamics of charged problems, area preserving maps and Arnold diffusion.

Book Description
This book represents a comprehensive treatment of both classical and modern problems of pulse propagation. The authors provide a physical insight in the intriguing problem of pulse propagation in non-equilibrium media (unstable or admitting attenuation). A refined analysis of the acoustic-gravity waves generation in a compressible stratified fluid is also presented. The solution describes sophisticated wave pictures near the front of the perturbation where previously known methods fail. Finally a detailed account of a relatively new field of investigation related to continuous spectrum waves in shear flows is given. Audience: This volume will be of use to researchers and scientists with a background in wave motion, fluid mechanics and calculus including elementary aspects of asymptotic methods. A major source of information for academians specialized in acoustics, hydrodynamics and geophysics.

enjoyable contemporary frolic .......2004-11-14
Peachtown, British Columbia is in financial trouble as a long term drought has kept tourists away. Ice Cream parlor guru Sally Danville thinks by providing the best ice cream in the world she might save her town. However, to do so she needs advertising and she has no money to do so.
Vancouver Satellite reporter "Cracker" Jack Gold has recently won the prestigious Gobey Award. However, his ego has gotten so out of control his peers have renamed the award the "Goldey" and his boss editor McNab decides he needs to bring his superstar back to earth. He assigns Jack to cover the best ice cream in the world story in Peachtown. Jack's plan is in and out so fast he will make Cool Papa Bell look slow turning off that light. However, instead Jack soon finds he wants to share sundaes and other days with Sally as he begins to fall in love; Sally feels the same way too.
THE BIG SCOOP is an enjoyable contemporary frolic that never takes itself seriously as Jack learns that his beloved's philosophy is that the world can be saved with a scoop of ice cream (perhaps that is what we need to deliver to the Iraqi children?). The story line is lighthearted as Jack's plans to leave go awry, but he is pleased to have it so as to find a personal human interest story. Sally is a likable idealist who makes cynical Jack reassesses his goals and values on what is important in life. Though a cholesterol nightmare, fans will appreciate eating ice cream with Jack and Sally.
