Hello Seniors,
I have done BSc in Physics but couldn't take lectures of Classical Mechanics. I am Almost blind in this subject. Since it's a core course in Physics, so i need your help to understand the basics in this course. If anyone of you have any helping material/notes/slides etc which contains the basics concepts and topics of Classical mechanics please share it with me. I am mostly keen to understand LAGRANGE and HAMILTONIAN. how to make lagrange or hamiltonian of some system? Seniors please Help.

Please don't recommend Books, I have tried goldstein but its too much difficult to prepare it from any book. Thanks
