I'm having major problems with Landau and Lifshitz Mechanics

[nolanp2]

i'm having major problems with mecanics because the recomended textbook mechanics by landau and lif****z is far too mathematical. can anyone recommend a book which covers similar material with less general equations etc? I'm willing to lower myself to using engineering books!

Sounds like you need an undergrad text as a backup. See this thread.

Actually I like Marion, Classical Dynamics. Get a hold of the 2nd edition, people report it's better than the new edition.

I really like my textbook, University Physics by Young and Freedman.

I haven't seen the ones the others are recommending but I think the strength of mine is in the clarity. The authors always work out and prove everything they expect you to know.
