Any good lecture notes for classical mechanics?

AI Thread 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 A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
