Oxford, 2009. Paperback. Very Good. VERY GOOD! . Appears unused. Very minor edge stains. No marks in text. . . . . . . FROM BACK COVER: FROM THE BACK COVER: Classical mechanics, one of the oldest branches of science, has undergone a long evolution, developing hand in hand with many areas of mathematics, including calculus, differential geometry, and the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras.
