Physics textbook covering relative kinematics/dynamics

[PhysicsLad]

My university's professors have a pathological obsession with non inertial frames of reference which apparently has been going on for decades. As a result we work tons of these problems involving kinematics, dynamics and so on.

However, none of the books listed in the bibliography of the course include a chapter on this, and the handouts are as messy as they get (this is the first year this course is taught in English, and the teachers prepared it in a couple of months notice).

So, if I want to pass this course without losing my sanity I really need a book which covers relative kinematics and dynamics rigorously, a rigorous chapter at least. This would be my reference for the whole 8 month + course so it needs to be a decent text overall (if it covers the stuff taught after mechanics like electromagnetism, fluids, thermo... it would make it almost perfect). Everything here is also Calculus heavy.

Even if we could simply point you to a book that covers non-inertial reference frames, it is difficult to recommend you a text that covers an entire 8 month course without having access to the course curriculum.

Here's something possibly worth looking at:

also fun:
"Frames of Reference" video by Hume and Ivey
"Rotating Frames of Reference" MIT RES.TLL-004 Concept Vignettes

Do you mean relativistic physics when you say "relative dynamics"? If so then SRT text rarely give a satisfactory treatment of non-inertial frames of reference. An impressive work is

E. Gourgoulhon, Special Relativity in General Frames, Springer 2013

It's of course an overkill for an introductory course ;-).

Thank you. This is what I was looking for.
