Book Overview
In response to popular demand, University Science Books is delighted to announce the one and only authorized Student Solutions Manual for John R. Taylor's internationally best-selling textbook, Classical Mechanics. This splendid little manual, by the textbook's own author, restates the odd-numbered problems from the book and the provides crystal-clear, detailed solutions. Of course, the author strongly recommends that students avoid sneaking a peek at these solutions until after attempting to solve the problems on their own But for those who put in the effort, this manual will be an invaluable study aid to help students who take a wrong turn, who can't go any further on their own, or who simply wish to check their work. Now available in print and ebook formats.

The most effective text I've ever used
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I am an undergraduate at Rutgers who used this in my 300-level Mechanics courses last year. This has been, by far, the most helpful book for any course yet. Dr. Taylor does an amazing job of depicting how complex mechanical problems are solved, and still gives an immense repetoire of challenging exercises for the reader. He provides great assistance in solving complex differential equations, so little pre-requiste work is needed in this regard. This text is friendly to read, unlike any other text I have used-so much so that it can be read recreationally. Dr. Taylor also provides a gross amount of material, so instructors will find ample material to use for an entire year or more. To help allieviate this dillema, he also provides helpful assistance by marking essential and optional areas. No doubts that instructors and students will be pleased with their experience.
Very good for self-study
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I strongly recommend this book, it is well written, clear, without typographical errors, with many excercises which you can really do after having studied the text. Some people say it is verbose: sometimes it is true, BUT when you study alone it is a lot better to have more rather than less explanations. I wish there was a similar book on quantum mechanics. The binding is good and this adds to the good feeling of studying it. This book should become soon a bestseller. I suggest only to add the answers of the even-numbered problems, sometimes it may help.
Great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is well written and is easy to learn from whether taking a Classical Mechanics class or learning it on your own. Unlike some books that expect you to know Differential Equations, this one sets it up for you along the way. It also has 11 chapters for a mechanics class and six bonus chapters that can be used as supplementary material. I would recommend this book for future students.
An excellent text
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This textbook is comprehensive, clearly written, well-paced, and thoughtful. Taylor clearly is an experienced professor and understands well how to convey material to students. Whether this text is required for your intermediate/advanced undergraduate classical mechanics course or you are someone who wishes to brush up on mechanics, this is the book.
Clear, thorough, and enjoyable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
"Classical mechanics" is a brilliant book, certainly one of the very best at this level. The author doesn't save space when a thorough introduction to a topic or problem is needed. Very often an intuitive explanation is given first, followed by a formal exposition, and then comes the real gem - a qualitative discussion of the mathematical results which brings physics again in the picture with full force. The chapters on oscillations are outstanding, same as the exposition of generalized coordinates and generalized forces. Of course, not every detail in derivations has to be given, and it is the choice of what to include and what to skip that makes the flow of exposition logical and coherent. This book is a joy to read, it is excellent for self-study.
