A bunch of Classical Mechanics online Resources( lecture notes)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion provides a comprehensive list of online resources for studying Classical Mechanics, including lecture notes and advanced texts. Key resources include lecture notes from Penn State, Harvard, and Texas, as well as a recommended advanced text by Giovanni Gallovoti. The discussion emphasizes the importance of rigorous mathematical treatments, particularly in Lagrangian Mechanics, and suggests that these materials are suitable for those seeking a deeper understanding beyond standard textbooks like Goldstein or Jose/Saletan.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Classical Mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with Lagrangian Mechanics
  • Basic mathematical skills for advanced physics
  • Access to online educational resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Giovanni Gallovoti's advanced text on mechanics
  • Review Lagrangian Mechanics through Andrew Lewis's rigorous notes
  • Investigate audio lecture recordings from Alex Maloney's course
  • Study the lecture notes from the University of Texas for practical applications
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators in Classical Mechanics, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of advanced mechanics concepts and mathematical formulations.

*UPDATE*
Giovanni Gallovoti written a clear, free online, "advanced" text on mechanics filled with clarity and exercises.

http://ipparco.roma1.infn.it/pagine/deposito/2007/elements.pdf

Note: This book is NOT as advanced as Marsden or Arnold, but it is more advanced than Goldstein or Jose/Saletan. Read it, you will not be disappointed.
 
*UPDATE*
Andrew Lewis: http://www.mast.queensu.ca/~andrew/teaching/math439/notes.shtml"

A VERY rigorous mathematical treatment of Lagrangian Mechanics. You should also read it if you want an axiomatic knowledge of Newtonian Mechanics and Galilean Spacetime.
