Classical Dynamics (University Texts in the Mathematical Sciences)

Targeted to advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics, physics and engineering, this book discussed major topics in classical dynamics. Each chapter begins with clear statements of definitions, principles and theorems. To illustrate and amplify the theories and principles, there are graded sets of solved examples and supplementary problems in each chapter. The book highlights vector treatment, but the scalar treatment is not disregarded. Theorems and principles are solved by vector method whereas in case of solved problems, both vector and scalar treatments are utilized. It is assumed that the students have a fair working knowledge of differential and integral calculus, differential equations, vector algebra and vector calculus.

Nazibuddin Ahmed is Adjunct Professor, Department of Mathematics ,Cotton University. He got retired from Gauhati University as Professor & Head, Department of Mathematics, Gauhati University in September, 2023. He joined Gauhati University as Associate Professor in the year 2006. Earlier, he had served Cotton College (now Cotton University), Guwahati, for more than 20 years. Before joining Cotton College, he had served the Arya Vidypeeth College, Guwahati, for about two and a half years. He passed the M.Sc. in Mathematics in the year 1982, and obtained his PhD degree in 1991 in the field of magneto-fluid dynamics from Gauhati University. Later, he was awarded DSc degree by Gauhati University in 2018 for his research work in the field of heat and mass transfer in hydromagnetic flows.

He has more than 200 research papers published to his credit in several reputed journals, including: Journal of Heat Transfer, Chemical Engineering Communications, Canadian Journal Physics, Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics, Heat Transfer Research, Heat Transfer-Asian Research, Heat Transfer, International Journal of Fluid Mechanics Research, Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Magnetohydrodynamics, Turkish Journal of Physics, Latin American Applied research, and so on. One of his research paper published in 2017–2018 has been recognized as a top-20 most-read paper in Heat Transfer-Asian Research. He has completed two major research projects: one from the UGC and other from CSIR. He has so far guided 21 research scholars for their PhD degrees. The author of four books in mathematics, including Thermal and Solutal Convections in Some Hydromagnetic Flows (Springer Nature), his present research fields are magneto-fluid dynamics and heat and mass transfer.
