By the way - what do you mean by 'how good'? I find the book to be an extremely dry book to read but that could be just me.
The book "Mechanics" by Florian Scheck is designed for advanced undergraduate or graduate students, so it may be considered challenging for those with no prior knowledge of the subject.
The book covers all the essential topics in classical mechanics, including Newton's laws, conservation laws, oscillations, and rigid body dynamics. However, some advanced topics may not be included.
Yes, the book can be used for self-study, but it is recommended to have a basic knowledge of calculus and linear algebra before starting.
Yes, the book includes numerous examples and exercises, which are essential for understanding the concepts and applying them to problem-solving.
The book is primarily designed for students, but it can also be a useful reference for researchers in the field of classical mechanics.
