Editorial Reviews: Review “One of the strengths of this text has always been its figures and presentation of the mathematical concepts. The figures are excellent and will help students to gain a feel for the ideas The major strength of this text has always been its thorough presentation of the mathematics. Many texts leave out so many steps in the examples and derivations that students, especially those seeing the applications of differential equations for the first time, find it hard to follow and become discouraged. Incorporating the presentation of new mathematical concepts into the text rather than as supplements helps students to recognize the usefulness of the math. If I were to describe this text I would consider it a good physical overview to dynamics with good supportive explanations of the mathematics involved.”

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

⭐Many books discuss topics well and are good at providing an understanding at a very fundamental level with clear and rigid explanations, but lack the mathematical formalism for advanced study. Other books are far too cryptic and contain nothing but a sea of equations leaving the reader helpless when trying to figure out what came from where. This book is a very good mix of the two. I am about to finish a two semester sequence of Mechanics using this text and I find it does a very good job of explaining theory and ideas along with guiding you through the mathematics that make it all work.Before this class I had three semesters of Calculus, one semester of Differential Equations, and a semester of Linear Algebra. With this background I found no difficulty whatsoever in interpreting the text, and most of the derivations are pretty straight forward.There are a fair amount of worked out examples in each chapter, however, I recommend picking up a problem set book with full solutions. It’s one thing to know which equations to use to solve a problem, but developing a keen problem-solving skillset requires looking over fully completed examples so that you can get a feel for the thought process.

⭐The cover is a bit worn, but all the pages inside were in mint condition.Good deal

⭐This book has some interesting commentary at the start of every chapter which gives nice perspective, but the teaching is lacking. The derivations tend to go on and on without much interpretation or explanation, which can leave some confused. The book does not sum up concepts, formulas, or theorems, which can make this a VERY difficult book to study from. Good luck… Hope you have a good teacher.It’s not all bad, but the bad parts are… bad.

⭐The product was not as described and was in fact the international version instead that can be bought for much less as the HW problems do not match and it’s not copyrighted.

⭐Terrible. Unclear explanations, overly dense writing, and will skip steps that are necessary to understand the material. Whereas some physics books actually attempt to explain the information to you, this book just presents it and expects the reader to figure it out, which is not a terrible skill to have, but as an introduction to calculus based classical mechanics this book just fails.

⭐The book is more used than I would have expected with the description it was given

⭐This is a wonderful textbook. It lays everything out in a straightforward, easy to understand way.

⭐Several of my classmates don’t like this text (they general prefer Taylor), but several more praise it with fervor. I’m in the latter category.

⭐no problems
