I was wondering if anyone could suggest any books that would describe and explain basic and some more advanced mechanics with a reasonable amount of mathematical content?

For undergraduate level, I enjoyed Marion & Thornton, "Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems". For graduate level: Goldstein "Classical Mechanics"Alevelman said:I was wondering if anyone could suggest any books that would describe and explain basic and some more advanced mechanics with a reasonable amount of mathematical content?

A classical mechanics book typically covers topics such as Newton's laws of motion, conservation of energy and momentum, rotational motion, and gravitation. It also covers important principles such as the principle of least action and Lagrangian mechanics.
Yes, some recommended classical mechanics books for beginners are "Classical Mechanics" by John R. Taylor, "Introduction to Classical Mechanics" by David Morin, and "An Introduction to Mechanics" by Daniel Kleppner and Robert J. Kolenkow.
Some advanced classical mechanics books for those with a strong background in physics are "Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems" by Stephen T. Thornton and Jerry B. Marion, "Mechanics" by Keith R. Symon, and "Classical Mechanics" by Herbert Goldstein.
Yes, some classical mechanics books that focus on applications in engineering are "Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics" by Russell C. Hibbeler, "Classical Mechanics for Engineers" by John R. Martin, and "Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics" by Anthony M. Bedford and Wallace Fowler.
Yes, "Schaum's Outline of Lagrangian Dynamics" by Dare A. Wells is a highly recommended book that focuses on problem-solving and practice in classical mechanics. It includes numerous solved problems and exercises to help students develop their problem-solving skills.
