Title: beware of title
Review: Although this book contains the usual advanced topics in classical mechanics, one must be aware of the meaning of its title. It indicates that its contents of classical mechanics are at the advanced level for engineers but not quite at the level and sophistication essential for advanced graduate work in physics; it lacks exposure in Hamiltonian formalism and advanced mathematics (differentiable manifolds, exterior forms, etc.), material which I believe is important to serious physics studentsI strongly surmise that engineering students can benefit most from this book. It contains a large body of homework problems, some of them copied from Schaum's Lagrangian Dynamics and other books. This book is somewhat readable, though Prof. Torok's choice of symbols often clouds my analysis.Too expensive of a hardcover, I am better off with my old Marion or Landau.
Is the review positive or negative?
