Very clean used copy, no markings found. Tiny scuffs marks along top covers. Very tight, fresh. Ships rapidly from central Texas. Thanks.

This is a text on Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Mechanics designed for use by students who have just finished the Calculus sequence.  However, there is enough advanced material that it could also serve for a first year graduate course in Classical Mechanics.  It might be used as a principal text or as a reference, or as a lifeboat, in either case.   The book distinguishes itself by providing an unusually geometric approach.  Here, we introduce Hamiltonian Dynamics first, as it is more intuitive, since the Hamitonian is the “energy” of the system.  Then we develop Lagrangian Dynamics. I have devoted early chapters modern mathematics, meaning Group Theory, Linear Algebra, Functional Analysis, and some Differential Geometry.  We then exploit this material to present Dynamical Systems more clearly. This book may also be useful to mathematics students who might want a gentle and painless introduction to modern mathematics, and a chance to see what it can do.

Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics is useful for solving difficult mechanics problems, and is critical for understanding Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory. The present text is unique for its emphasis on geometric reasoning and intuition, and for its accessibility. Volume 1 is primarily mathematical, covering Linear and Abstract Algebra, Functional Analysis and Differential Geometry, and Volume 2 is primarily devoted to physics, beginning with a serious approach to Newtonian physics, then Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics, including classical field theory, the basis of Quantum Field theory. This book is intended to be used by physics undergraduates who have just finished the Calculus sequence and by physics graduate students. Beginning mathematics students will also find it useful, for introducing some modern mathematics in a way that is accessible, and then showing some of its many uses. Engineering students may also be interested in this book.

Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics: Volume 1

Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics: Volume 2

Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics (HLD) are two interrelated regimes and sets of techniques that can be used to solve Classical Mechanics problems, like Newtonian Physics does, but HLD is much more powerful and flexible, making manageable the otherwise intractable. In addition, HLD provides intuitive insight and guides approximation techniques. Most importantly, HLD is a foundation for Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, Elementary Particle Physics, and Solid State Physics. This book emphasizes geometric reasoning in both the text and exercises. Volume 1 is devoted to the necessary mathematics: Linear Algebra, Functional Analysis, Manifolds, and Lie Groups. Volume 2 is devoted to physics: Dynamical Systems, Newtonian Physics, Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics, and many applications. Volume 1 contains unusually concise, yet deep, treatments of Linear Algebra, Lie Groups and of Conic Sections, so that some may wish to use the book to pursue those goals alone. The book is intended to be useful for physics undergraduates in a first course in Analytical Mechanics, and for Graduate students in physics. Mathematics students will find here simple treatments of advanced mathematical topics, and see their practical application. Engineers will also find succor herein for solving difficult problems.

A collection of ferocious illustrations by an important yet little-known Irish cartoonist who was killed in the 1916 Rising. Prior to his death on the front steps of Dublin's Liberty Hall, Ernest Kavanagh had established himself as one of Ireland's most notorious political cartoonists. This collection of original Kavanagh cartoons provides us with a fascinating pictorial record of an Ireland filled with protest and social unrest during the First World War and in the lead-up to the 1916 Rising.
