How important is Analytical Mechanics in Mechanical Engineering?
I'm asking that because my regular course does not offer Analytical Mechanics in its original curriculum, so I would have to get it as an elective from Physics course (curriculums are pretty much pre-defined in here). Thing is: there are a lot of specific course requirements to apply which are uncommon to my ME curriculum, beaking those requirements would be a pain in the *** and it's very likely I will be declined, as they usually do that only to exceptionally great students (which I am not).
I've heard Analytical Mechanics is a must, so I really don't know what to do. Is it worth going after the specific course or is it enough to study by myself? What should I know before I start AM and which books do you recommend?
Thank you very much.
