Good book abaut classical mechanics?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around recommendations for books on classical mechanics, including topics such as kinematics, statics, dynamics, and fluids. Participants seek resources that provide clear explanations and numerical problems for practice, indicating a focus on introductory and intermediate levels of understanding.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests Greiner's classical mechanics for its mathematical detail but notes it may not be suitable as an introduction.
  • Another recommends "University Physics" by Young and Freedman for its introductory mechanics chapters.
  • A different participant mentions "Classical Mechanics" by Prof Klepner as a good option.
  • French's "Newtonian Mechanics" is proposed as a suitable resource for those needing to catch up, positioned between freshman physics and more advanced texts like Symon.
  • One participant inquires about I.E. Irodov's book for mechanics problems, suggesting it is well-regarded for practice.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a variety of opinions on suitable books, indicating no consensus on a single recommendation. Multiple competing views on the best resources for learning classical mechanics remain present.

Contextual Notes

Some suggestions may depend on the reader's prior knowledge and specific learning needs, and the availability of certain texts may vary, with some being out of print.

Who May Find This Useful

Students seeking introductory and intermediate resources in classical mechanics, particularly those looking for clear explanations and practice problems.

hi
im new to this forum, i yust registered, and i think is great forum, the best and wery helpfull

im on a physics and informatics colledge, i need to pass classical mechanics (i have some dificulties with it), so i have a question does somebody know some good book about classical mechanics (with kinematics, statics, dinamics, fluids)(i' d prefear theat goes from bottom and theat is wery good in explaining)?

thx

If you want incredibly excrutiating mathematical detail go for Greiners classical mechanics. It is dead boring though and probably not very good as a introduction.

If you want a good introduction I liked the chapters for mechanics in "university physics" by Young and Freedman.
 
Hey, i am new to this forum.i don't know how to continue with things here.pls someone suggests me how to use this forum in a better way.
i want a good book on classical mechanics containing good numerical problem .i want to practice from that.please smeone suggest some good books,thanx.
