Classical Need a reference for Mechanics book

AI Thread Summary
For a comprehensive understanding of generalized coordinates, D'Alembert's principle, Lagrange's equations, Hamilton equations, and the motion of rigid bodies in two dimensions at the graduation level, "Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems" by Marion and Thornton is recommended as a suitable reference book. This text effectively covers the necessary topics and provides a solid foundation in classical dynamics.

I need a reference book to read the following topics-
a) Generalized coordinates; b) D'Alembert's principle and Lagrange's equations; c)Hamilton equations; d) Motion of rigid bodies in two dimensions.
The topics need to be covered only at graduation level.

Thanking you in anticipation.

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!
