The book we're using for mechanics is "Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua" by Fetter and Walecka. I've never had as much trouble understanding physics as I am now. I am absolutely confounded when it comes to Lagrange multipliers, Euler angles (and other rigid body stuff) and Hamiltonian dynamics. Our prof is generally pretty unhelpful. Does anyone have a book that explains this stuff clearly and succinctly? I've heard Goldstein or Landau are pretty good. Confirm/deny?
Does this whole grad school thing get easier to manage after 1st year? I'm only taking 4 classes and I feel completely overwhelmed (compare to 6 as undergrad). Ugh.
