Christoph Schiller,23rd edition, 452 pages, 2009.
The textbook covers topics on: Why should we care about motion?, From motion measurement to continuity, How to describe motion – kinematics, From objects and images to conservation, From the rotation of the earth to the relativity of motion, Motion due to gravitation, Classical mechanics and the predictability of motion, Measuring change with action, Motion and symmetry, Simple motions of extended bodies – oscillations and waves, Do extended bodies exist? – Limits of continuity, From heat to time-invariance, Self-organization and chaos – the simplicity of complexity, From the limitations of physics to the limits of motion.
