An Introduction to Mechanics, commonly referred to as Kleppner and Kolenkow, is an undergraduate-level textbook on classical mechanics written by physicists Daniel Kleppner and Robert J. Kolenkow. It originated as the textbook for a one-semester mechanics course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where both Kleppner and Kolenkow taught, intended to go deeper than an ordinary first-year course.
The first edition was published in 1973 by McGraw Hill and republished in 2010 by Cambridge University Press (CUP), which also published the second edition in 2013.
