Classical mechanics is the basis for any university-level study of technical-scientific disciplines. But most existing manuals use a technological and engineering approach, with basic aspects sometimes insufficiently highlighted. This book introduces the concepts and applications of classical mechanics into Newtonian formalism. Newtonian dynamics is useful for solving applied physics and engineering problems, but also a fascinating theory anchored in questions posed since the times of the Greek philosophers, regarding space, the flow of time, measurable physical quantities, the physical principles with the mathematical structure needed to describe the Universe, etc. The author aims to encourage students to think about these fundamental aspects and how they will be addressed in modern physics, including the successes and limitations of Newton's mechanics. The book is designed to mirror the progress of the students using it, with earlier chapters assuming no more than basic high school instruction and later ones geared toward subsequent enhanced understanding. The book is designed for students of undergraduate programs in physics, mathematics, chemistry, and engineering who will deal with modern physics, as they will benefit from an approach in which the aspects of classical mechanics are introduced in a propaedeutic approach towards relativistic physics and quantum mechanics.

Maurizio Spurio’s research activity is mainly in astroparticle physics using neutrinos and cosmic rays in a multimessenger approach. He has published more than 230 papers in referred journals. Since 2014, he has served as the deputy spokesman of the ANTARES experiment, an international collaboration for neutrino astrophysics. The detector was in operation from 2008 to 2022 and located in the Mediterranean Sea. At present, he is participating in the activities for the realization of the KM3NeT neutrino telescope. Previously, he was a member of the MACRO collaboration at the Gran Sasso Labs and contributed significantly to the first studies of atmospheric neutrino oscillations. He contributed to develop a nuclear track detector, used for physics application and to search for magnetic monopoles, also at LHC. Finally, since 2022, he has been a member of the Einstein Telescope Collaboration, for the construction of a new generation of gravitational wave interferometer.
