The Galileo-Newton formulation of dynamics -- 2. Particle dynamics in one dimension -- 3. Oscillations -- 4. Particle dynamics in two and three dimensions -- 5. Central forces and orbits -- 6. Multi-particle systems -- 7. Rigid bodies -- 8. Rotating references frames -- 9. Special relativity -- 10. Space-time -- 11. Relativistic mechanics -- Appendix N2 - Essential Dynamics & Relativity provides students with an introduction to the core aspects of dynamics and special relativity. The author reiterates important ideas and terms throughout and covers concepts that are often missing from other textbooks at this level. He also places each topic within the wider constructs of the theory, without jumping from topic to topic to illustrate a point ER -
