Classical Mechanics Video Lectures

AI Thread Summary
Suggestions for classical mechanics video lectures include Susskind's and Balakrishnan's series, which cover advanced topics like central body motion and Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. Additionally, Maloney's lectures are recommended for further study. For those seeking book alternatives to Marion and Thornton's "Classical Dynamics," a specific title was suggested as a suitable replacement. The discussion encourages searching the science book forum for more resources. Overall, the thread provides valuable links and recommendations for advanced classical mechanics study materials.

Hello,
I wonder if you got any suggestions for classical mechanics video lectures? I don't mean freshman physics, but rather the course which includes the topics such as central body motion, lagrangian, hamiltonian, etc. (I guess it is considered as an upper level course on most schools)

Links are very helpful.
Thanks a lot! (and sorry for the late reply.)
 
Sorry to be posting under video lectures, but I couldn't find any posts on books for classical mechanics. Does anybody know of any book replacement for Marion and Thornton Classical Dynamics? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
