Thanks for all the tips folks.

Ok, I'll add that one to the list. I'll also peruse my copy of Fowles and Cassiday to see if there's anything helpful in there.

Unfortunately my undergrad mechanics completely omitted Lagrangian mechanics and everything thereafter, so this is the first time, heh.

Thanks Fred, I'll hit the library up tomorrow and look for those :)

Sounds about right then. If I get 6 hours of sleep I consider myself lucky.

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...

Just an fyi, in high school I absolutely hated math. Nothing really "clicked" until I hit calculus. At that point, the reasons for all previous work became obvious. Maybe check out some lectures on youtube before deciding you can't put up with the math.
