Devoted to the foundation of mechanics, namely classical Newtonian mechanics, the subject is based mainly on Galileo's principle of relativity and Hamilton's principle of least action. The exposition is simple and leads to the most complete direct means of solving problems in mechanics.
The final sections on adiabatic invariants have been revised and augmented. In addition a short biography of L D Landau has been inserted.
Reviews:
Summary: Good background Material
Rating: 5
I bought this book as a background reference to some of my own work. The book helped to fill some of the gaps and it is an excellent reference.
Summary: Provides a new perspective on common concepts.
Rating: 4
Like the title says this book provides a new perspective that allows very commonly defined quantities to arise naturally. However, this is the translation from Landau's work so the original texts are much thicker and I am sure much is lost in the translation. This is also a graduate or higher text and it difficult to follow at times but the more ways you can understand something the better.
Summary: Excellent
Rating: 5
This book was recommended as a supplimentary text for our mechanics course. This book is 100% better than any other mechanics book I've looked at. The explanations are very clear, especially for non-inertial & rotational reference frames and the derevations for conservation of energy, momenta, and angular momenta (integrals of motion).
Includes extensive section on Euler angle derivation and tops. The examples in this text are quite difficult (more difficult than your typical undergraduate text), but they are all solved with partial work, so they are still helpful for studying.
Overall a clearly written text with good examples and excellent derivations.
Summary: Great book
Rating: 5
It is wonderful book to learn the basics of mechanics. It will be best for the people who start to take fundamental physics course in college.
Summary: Not Useful for Learning
Rating: 2
Way overrated. L&L lacks motivation and empiricism. Justifications behind their derivations are often specious. If you know the subject, it's a nice perspective. Otherwise, it's useless. Two stars, instead of zero, for their oustanding elegance. Based on previous raves, have read now V.1 and V.2 of their course of physics. Doubt that i will waste time on other volumes.
