Classical Mechanics

[jhooper3581]

Okay, I have this textbook about Classical Mechanics. It is NOT a high school textbook, it's like a college textbook, which requires beyond algebra. I also have calculus textbook, but I have not mastered multivariable calculus yet. If I do master this, will it help me finish Classical Mechanics, or does differential equations textbook also required?

If you're dealing with classical mechanics on a level where you require multivariable calculus, you're likely also on a level where there is an assumed knowledge of differential equations, and potentially variational techniques.

A rudimentary understanding of single variable calculus should be all one needs math wise for a general, introductory college mechanics course.

Thanks for the reply.
