A complete set of lecture notes for an lower-division classical mechanics course. Topics covered include one-dimensional motion, three-dimensional motion, Newton's laws of motion, energy and momentum conservation, circular and rotational motion, statics, planetary motion, oscillations, and wave motion.

This book is great for me... I'm taking the AP Physics C Mechanics test, and it gives you a LOT of formulas that (if you can remember them) will allow you to sidestep long, complicated problem-solving strategies and just plug and chug. I'm using this along with The Princeton Review's book.

Are these notes for a first semester course in mechanics or is it a sophomore level course?

Excellent. Short and sweet, just how I like my notes.
Thanks goes out to Richard Fitzpatrick.

It's a first semester course in mechanics. Great preparation for AP Physics C, or even for B if you wanna know the material more in-depth than necessary to have a boost up.

OMG Thanks, this material is actually covered in my current first-semester Physics course.
