An Introduction to Mechanics 2nd Edition by Daniel Kleppner (PDF)

Description

For 40 years, Kleppner and Kolenkow’s classic text has introduced students to the principles of mechanics. Now brought up to date, this revised and improved second edition is ideal for classical mechanics courses for first- and second-year undergraduates with foundation skills in mathematics. The book retains all the features of the first edition, including numerous worked examples, challenging problems and extensive illustrations, and has been restructured to improve the flow of ideas. It now features new examples taken from recent developments, such as laser slowing of atoms, exoplanets and black holes; a ‘Hints, Clues and Answers’ section for the end-of-chapter problems to support student learning; and a solutions manual for instructors at www.cambridge.org/kandk.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a physics textbook. It doesn’t come with the gimmicks and terrible online learning resources that plague many a Pearson or Wiley text. And even better, it explains physics! Now that is not to say this book is perfect. The text often relies too heavily on math which ends up obfuscating the beauty of the mechanical universe.For that reason, I would suggest Professors consider “The Mechanical Universe: Mechanics and Heat” for their advanced introductory mechanics course. It clearly explains physical intuition while giving students the mathematical tools they need to actually do physics.K&K (as this text is known) is a classic for a reason. The structure of the book lends to a strong mathematical foundation for any future physics work, but it isn’t the best.

⭐The book cover is in poor condition, especially the corners.

⭐Other reviews are accurate. It’s a classic with great problems but you’ll have to use an unofficial solution manual to check most of your answers.

⭐kleppner killed my last brain cell

⭐good

⭐Excellent explanations and problems

⭐excelent a useful approach to mechanics

⭐When I read the first pages of this book, I thought: “This book is going to be excellent”, but now, I’ve changed my mind: I arrived at page 34, and I don’t understand anything. I read it at least, three times, and I still don’t understand it. So, two stars.

⭐Only thing that I did not like about this book was the system of questions – there were rarely solutions and just numerical answers. In addition, it only had the numerical answers for some of the questions. It was more advanced than the course I was studying, but this gave me additional insight and the explanations were the stand-out feature of this book.

⭐A really well laid out book, excellent

⭐Brilliant, a must have.

⭐excellent service, perfect book

⭐I had used this book in my college a long time back and this was my favourite book at that time. I ordered it to get a personal copy and I was shocked to see the poor print quality of the book I received. I had ordered a hard copy hoping to get a good quality book. What I got seems like a photocopied book on poor quality office paper. The content is no doubt excellent but one should not order books supplied by Repro Books on amazon. Simply disappointed to see how they ruined an excellent book.
