This book is for students familiar with an introductory course in mechanics at the freshman level. With an emphasis on more fundamental perspectives and techniques more advanced than those given in most introductory mechanics textbooks, the book illuminates notions where vectors are coordinate-free, presents the importance of reference frames (inertial and non-inertial) to mechanics problems, the role of Galilean Relativity on invariance and covariance of physical quantities, a framework to perform calculations — free from the constraint of a fixed axis — in rotational dynamics, and others. Moreover, it provides clear links between concepts in mechanics and other branches of physics, such as thermodynamics and electrodynamics, so that students can possess a complete view of what they learn within the confines of physics.
