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.
