Good books on classical mechanics

In summary, classical mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the motion of objects and the forces that affect them. It is important because it provides the foundation for understanding the behavior of everyday objects and systems, and is essential for advanced fields such as quantum mechanics and relativity. Some good books for beginners on classical mechanics include "Classical Mechanics" by John R. Taylor, "An Introduction to Mechanics" by Daniel Kleppner and Robert Kolenkow, and "Introduction to Classical Mechanics" by David Morin. There are also many online resources available for learning classical mechanics, such as MIT OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy, and HyperPhysics. For more advanced readers, some recommended books include "Classical Mechanics" by Herbert Goldstein
