Newtonian mechanics is taught as part of every physics program for several reasons: it is a towering intellectual achievement; it has diverse applications; and it provides a context for teaching modelling and problem solving. This text gives equal prominence to all three missions. It therefore includes some advanced material as well as the customary introductory topics and is designed to be studied over an extended time-frame. The problem-solving aspects are developed more fully than in many other texts; showing readers how problems are approached and bringing out the ways of going about constructing a model and solution.

This introduction to the mathematical concepts used to describe fundamental physics principles is peppered with numerous examples and applications which enable the reader to master the complex mathematical concepts needed to define topics such as relativity, mechanics, and electromagnetics. Applications are included in every chapter.
