商品描述

This updated and augmented second edition covers the history of mechanics in such a way as to explain how this all-important discipline shaped our world. Like the first edition, Dr. Allen presents the material in an engaging, accessible manner, with many historic insights and thorough explanations of attending concepts. The text retains its coverage of classical mechanics, essentially Newtonian mechanics, and adds chapters on three additional topics that go well beyond classical mechanics: relativity, quantum/nanomechanics, and biomechanics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這一更新和增補的第二版涵蓋了力學的歷史，旨在解釋這一重要學科如何塑造了我們的世界。與第一版類似，Allen 博士以引人入勝且易於理解的方式呈現材料，並提供許多歷史見解和對相關概念的詳細解釋。文本保留了對經典力學（基本上是牛頓力學）的涵蓋，並新增了三個超越經典力學的主題章節：相對論、量子/納米力學和生物力學。
