Classical mechanics text recommendation

[adriang]

I'm looking for a classical mechanics book that is heavily mathematical based, I've looked around a little however I'm lazy and don't want to buy a dud book. any recommendations would be great, thanks. (also i know there's 100000000000threads on text recom's however can't seem to find much ppl asking for heavily mathematical based ones)

Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics - V. I. Arnold

 

[D H]

Classical Mechanics - Goldstein (third edition is by Goldstein, Poole and Safko). This is pretty much the standard text for the introductory course in classical mechanics at the graduate level.

What do you mean by "heavily mathematical based"?

Do you mean texts that use a differential geometry-based approach?

I highly recommend "Classical Mechanics" by John R. Taylor. This textbook is heavily mathematical based and provides a thorough understanding of classical mechanics. It covers topics such as Newtonian mechanics, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism, and rotational dynamics using advanced mathematical concepts. The book also includes numerous examples and problems to help solidify your understanding of the material. I have personally used this textbook in my own studies and have found it to be an excellent resource. I believe it would be a great fit for anyone looking for a heavily mathematical based classical mechanics book.
