`Students will not only easily learn the principles of mechanics, but will also obtain a good grasp of techniques needed for solving typical mechanics problems. They will cover all the essentials of a first-year university course in mechanics. The book can also be used as a reference book' Zentralblatt fur Mathematik 869 `A lot of space is given to the mathematics, with early chapters introducing vectors, so this should suit students with little prior training in mathematics' New Scientist
