kleppner's and french's mechanics, are there any other challenging books?

[MathematicalPhysicist]

are there other tough newtonian & relativity mechanics books besides daniel kleppner's intro to mechanics and french's two volumes of mit series?
i mean with respect to the problems.

[MathematicalPhysicist]

no other books are as tough as those?
it's really upsetting that i don't have those in my library.:grumpy:

You will not, in my humble opinion, find any book better than Kleppner and Kolenkow's "An Introduction To Mechanics."

Are there any solutions to problems in the back of these books?

Well an excellent problem book is Irodov's :cool:

Many of the problems in K&K include answers at the end of the problem so it is easy to check your work.

your replies are appreciated.
at the moment, my only hope to take a chance to glance at kleppner's book is with my brother.
i hope he could find it, although with my luck he wo'nt.

thanks, anyway.
