Book Question -- velocity polygon and corelis acceleration

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concepts of velocity polygons and Coriolis acceleration in the context of kinematics. Velocity polygons are described as graphical representations used to visualize the addition of vectors, particularly in mechanism problems, where they maintain a closed shape despite deformation over time. This method allows for the differentiation of position relations to yield a closed polygon of velocity vectors. Coriolis acceleration is mentioned as a natural consequence of this approach, highlighting its relevance in kinematic analysis. The conversation seeks recommendations for books that cover these topics in detail.

By "velocity polygon" are you referring perhaps to how it can sometimes look like a polygon when drawing out the addition of two vectors?
 
Perhaps the OP is referring to the idea that, in many mechanism problems, it is convenient to express position relations in terms of a polygon that remains closed at all times, although it may deform as parts move and time passes.

When these relations are differentiated with respect to time, the result is a closed polygon of velocity vectors.

The Coriolis acceleration falls out naturally wherever it is relevant with this approach to kinematics.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
