This textbook provides a thorough introduction to Newtonian Mechanics and
is intended for university students in physics, astronomy and engineering.
It is based on a course for which Dr. Knudsen earned an award for the best
teaching at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. More than 100 problems
with solutions and 89 worked examples help the student to grasp the essential
aspects of the subject, and to develop proficiency in using the powerful
methods of Newtonian mechanics. Moreover, the fundamental problem of motion
and the concept of inertial frames is faced from the very beginning, and
runs through the entire development of classical mechanics. This new and
fresh approach is presented in its third edition, which has been revised
and enlarged.
