For 40 years, Kleppner and Kolenkow's classic text has introduced students to

the principles of mechanics. Now brought up to date, this revised and improved

second edition is ideal for classical mechanics courses for first- and

second-year undergraduates with foundation skills in mathematics. The book

retains all the features of the first edition, including numerous worked

examples, challenging problems and extensive illustrations, and has been

restructured to improve the flow of ideas. It now features new examples taken

from recent developments, such as laser slowing of atoms, exoplanets and black

holes; a 'Hints, Clues and Answers' section for the end-of-chapter problems to

support student learning; and a solutions manual for instructors at www.cambridge.org/kandk
