This textbook examines the Hamiltonian formulation in classical mechanics with the basic mathematical tools of multivariate calculus. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics or mathematics who are interested in mechanics and applied math will benefit from this treatment of analytical mechanics.

This book on the theory of three-dimensional spinors and their applications fills an important gap in the literature. From the reviews:"Gathers much of what can be done with 3-D spinors in an easy-to-read, self-contained form designed for applications that will supplement many available spinor treatments.

Without using the customary Clifford algebras frequently studied in connection with therepresentations of orthogonal groups, this book gives an elementary introduction to the two-component spinor formalism for four-dimensional spaces with any signature.
