Classical Recommedation for Classical Mechanics book

AI Thread Summary
For preparing for a classical mechanics competition, a focus on books with numerous solved examples is essential. The competition covers topics such as kinematics, dynamics, conservation of energy, Newton's gravity, fluid statics, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics. Previous experience indicates a solid understanding of classical mechanics, with a desire for more challenging material. Recommendations for advanced problem-solving books that emphasize practical examples rather than theoretical explanations are sought.

There will be a competition in classical mechanics and I need a good book to prepare. The competiton was also held last year and i ended up thir, so I dear to say that I know classical mechanics very well. The competition will include kinematics, dynamics, law of conservation of energy, Newton's gravity, fluid statics, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. I don't need a textbook with explained principles, I just need a book with lot of solved examples. I already went through three such books and I want another one, possibly a little harder. Thanks in advance :D.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
