This advanced undergraduate textbook presents a modern, highly accessible treatment of classical mechanics. While comprehensive, it can be tailored to a one-semester course. It contains 550 end-of-chapter problems, 65 optional computational projects and 321 simple in-chapter exercises that reinforce a student's understanding of key concepts.

Patrick Hamill has taught physics at San Jose State University for over thirty years. During that time he was honored by student organizations for teaching excellence and was named a 'President's Scholar' for his research activities in atmospheric science. He received the NASA Ames Julian Allen award for his studies of the role of polar stratospheric clouds in the formation of the ozone hole over the Antarctic. Dr. Hamill has published over 100 peer reviewed papers. He is the author of the Cambridge University Press text, A Student's Guide to Lagrangians and Hamiltonians.
