Nonlinear Mechanics A Supplement to Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua

The authors' previous Dover book, Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua,provided a lucid and self-contained account of classical mechanics, together with appropriate mathematical methods. This supplement and update of the original 1980 volume provides a bridge to contemporary mechanics. Alexander L. Fetter is Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Stanford University, and John Dirk Walecka is Professor of Physics at the College of William and Mary. They are the authors of a prior Dover book, Quantum Theory of Many-Particle Systems.
