Any good lecture notes for classical mechanics?

Click For Summary
For those seeking quality lecture notes on classical mechanics, several resources are highly recommended. The MIT OpenCourseWare for Classical Mechanics offers comprehensive readings and embedded notes that cover essential topics. Additionally, edX provides multiple courses focusing on different aspects of mechanics, including kinematics, dynamics, momentum, and energy. Yale's course by Professor V. Balakrishnan is also noted for its clarity and depth, making it a popular choice among learners. It's advised to review the specific topics covered in each resource to determine which aligns best with individual learning needs.

Any good lecture notes for classical mechanic?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Have a look at Classical Mechanics by Prof. V. Bakakrishnan. It's the best I have come across, and have recommended it to many here. The lectures are also available in the PF media gallery. Use the search option to search for them.

Just an addition after I looked at what @smodak has suggested: the two suggestions are a bit different in the sense that, Prof. Balakrishnan teaches classical formalism. Be sure to go through the topics closely to see which one suits you the best.
 
got it! thanks

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
