Books by Robert Lambourne

Presents the core ideas of Newtonian mechanics, starting from Newton's laws and the idea that changes in motion are predictable given the forces that cause them. This book introduces concepts, such as kinetics and potential energy, linear momentum, torque (the rotational analogue of force), and angular momentum.

Offers a quantitative description of a variety of physically important motions. Starting with simple examples of motion along a line, this book introduces key concepts, such as position, velocity, and acceleration, using the fundamental rules of differential calculus.
