Mechanics III (Analytic Dynamics II) by Dr Babar Ahmad

We are very thankful to Dr Babar Ahmad for sharing his book on MathCity.org. This book is very helpful for undergraduate students of Science and Engineering Programs.

This book is shared by the permission of the author and he keeps the copyright of the book.

Mechanics is core course for undergraduate Mathematics, Physics and many engineering disciplines. It appears under different names as Analytical/Classical Mechanics, Theoretical Mechanics, Mechanics I, Mechanics II, Mechanics III, Analytical Dynamics.

This textbook is designed to support teaching activities in Theoretical Mechanics specially Dynamics. It covers the contents of “Mechanics” for many undergraduate science and engineering programs. It presents simply and clearly the main theoretical aspects of mechanics.

It is assumed that the students have completed their courses in Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations and Mechanics II. This book also lay the foundations for further studies in physics, physical sciences, and engineering.

For each concept a number books, documents and lecture notes are consulted. I wish to express my gratitude to the authors of such works.
