This book – specifically developed as a novel textbook on elementary
classical mechanics – shows how analytical and numerical methods can
be seamlessly integrated to solve physics problems. This approach
allows students to solve more advanced and applied problems at an
earlier stage and equips them to deal with real-world examples well
beyond the typical special cases treated in standard textbooks.
Another advantage of this approach is that students are brought closer
to the way physics is actually discovered and applied, as they are
introduced right from the start to a more exploratory way of
understanding phenomena and of developing their physical concepts.
While not a requirement, it is advantageous for the reader to have
some prior knowledge of scientific programming with a scripting-type
language. This edition of the book uses Matlab, and a chapter devoted
to the basics of scientific programming with Matlab is included. A
parallel edition using Python instead of Matlab is also available.
Last but not least, each chapter is accompanied by an extensive set of
course-tested exercises and solutions.
