The book is structured to align with competitive exams like NET/JRF and GATE, covering: Lagrangian & Hamiltonian Formulations: Mechanics of particles and systems of particles. Central Force Problems: Including two-body problems and orbital stability. Rigid Body Dynamics: Kinematics and motion in rotating frames. Special Relativity: Its integration into classical mechanics. Small Oscillations: Including vibration of continuous systems. Quantum Transition: The bridge from classical to quantum mechanics.
