Mechanics is the oldest branch of the exact, experimental sciences, and was founded as such by Galileo Galilee. In exact sciences the laws are expressed by mathematical relationships (e.g. polynomial or differential equations) and the quantities related by the laws must also have precise mathematical definitions. The quantities are, in general, constructs of our own minds; the scientific laws enable us to predict what will happen if we do something to the world, but tell us nothing about what we might call 'ultimate reality'.
This textbook provides extra knowledge in mechanics & pre-requisites in quantum mechanics for university students. This book provides the knowledge about the importance of the Galilean Transformation in Newtonian mechanics; the relation of conservation of quantities to symmetry; and the use of conservation laws to simplify problems.
