โฆ Synopsis
Would give zero stars, but it is not possible. To use the book, you need specific version of Scheme language with specific library. These are available only for Linux or MacOS. Since I don't own Linux or Mac machine and don't plan to own one, I stopped reading the book on page 3 and never resumed. Unfortunately, I discovered this after 30 days return period. By the way, link to this software, listed in the book is wrong. There should be a big warning on the cover that software is available only for Linus and MacOS, to avoid situations like mine. Selling book with software that runs on 10% of computers, without visible warning should be considered a fraud. Oh, yes, you can google and find variuos ad-hoc procedures to run this on Windows, but none of these worked for me.

This textbook takes an innovative approach to the teaching of classical mechanics, emphasizing the development of general but practical intellectual tools to support the analysis of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems. The development is organized around a progressively more sophisticated analysis of part
