Title: Good Problems, Bad Textbook
Review: Analytical Mechanics by Hand and Finch is more like Analytical S*#! Sandwich by two awful textbook writers. I didn't mind the fact that there were so few examples throughout the text, or the lack of answers to problems in the back. I think that actually encourages creative thinking and builds problem solving skills, provided the rest of the book is written clearly enough to help students build a strong concept base. This book however, is not clearly written and ends up either frustrating the students or boring them to tears, or both... usually both.I would suggest picking up a book with a little bit of personality, and possibly using this one for the challenging problems, once you feel confident with the material.
