Mechanical Engineering Crash Course - Classical Mechanics and Hamiltonian Formulations: Master Classical & Hamiltonian Mechanics Fast - 44 Stand-Alone ... Mechanical Engineering Applications

By Asher Cohen

Why You'll Want This on Your Desk Tonight

Feeling overwhelmed by dynamics equations, Lagrangian derivations, or those late-night vibration problems?

This powerhouse reference compresses an entire upper-level mechanical engineering curriculum into an ultra-focused, results-driven guide. Whether you're racing toward an exam deadline, designing machinery that can't fail, or simply craving a deeper command of motion, this text delivers the clarity and confidence you need-without the fluff.

Inside, you'll discover:

- Step-by-step walkthroughs for Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian formulations-bridge the gap from first principles to advanced analytical mechanics in record time.

- 400+ exam-grade practice problems-hone calculation speed, conceptual insight, and real-world engineering judgment simultaneously.

- High-impact topics engineers demand: rigid-body dynamics, mass moment of inertia, gyroscopic stability, single & multi-DOF vibrations, symplectic integrators, Poisson brackets, Hamilton-Jacobi methods, action-angle variables, and more.
