dextercioby said:Spivak has probably taught you well. I would consider a combination between Landau & Lifschits' book (volume 1 of the set) and one of the editions of Goldstein.
If you have a passion for mathematics, then either Arnold's book or one Marsden's books should please you.
Some popular mechanics books for beginners include "Engineering Mechanics: Statics" by Russell C. Hibbeler and "Classical Mechanics" by John R. Taylor.
For advanced learners, recommended mechanics books include "Introduction to Classical Mechanics" by David Morin and "Classical Mechanics: Systems of Particles and Hamiltonian Dynamics" by Walter Greiner.
Yes, there are mechanics books that focus on specific topics such as "Fluid Mechanics" by Frank M. White and "Mechanics of Materials" by James M. Gere and Barry J. Goodno.
"Mechanics of Materials" by William F. Riley, Leroy D. Sturges, and Don H. Morris includes practical applications and examples, as well as "Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics" by Andrew Pytel and Jaan Kiusalaas.
Some mechanics books with interactive elements include "Physics for Scientists and Engineers: Mechanics" by Paul A. Tipler and Gene Mosca, which includes online simulations, and "Mechanics for Engineers" by Ferdinand P. Beer and E. Russell Johnston Jr., which includes a companion website with interactive exercises.
