Classical Classical mechanics book recommendations please

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for books on mechanics include "Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems" by Marion & Thornton for undergraduate study, which covers both basic and advanced mechanics with a solid mathematical foundation. For graduate-level mechanics, "Classical Mechanics" by Goldstein is suggested, known for its depth and rigor in the subject. These texts are well-regarded for their clarity and comprehensive approach to mechanics.

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?

Cheers

For undergraduate level, I enjoyed Marion & Thornton, "Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems". For graduate level: Goldstein "Classical Mechanics"
 

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...
