Undergrad book on Classical Mechanics

[isher_mondal]

Hi there,
I am an undergrad 1st year student in Physics. I wanted to self study the classical mechanics so that i can get hold of some very important concepts before it begins to rush in our class. Can you suggest me a basic Classical Mechanics book of undergrad level that will help to learn about Newton's law, solve the equations of motions for 2D, 3D, spherical and polar coordinates for various systems...and all the topics covered in first year of undergrad physics course?
Thanks in advance.

I think the usual textbook used by 1st year physics undergrads is Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday and Resnick.
Also, you might want to check your university's library, or any local library, skim through some books and determine which you think is good/well explained and rent/buy it.

And you can't go wrong with Kleppner & Kolenkow either.

I very readable book is "Mechanics" by Kittel, Knight, and Ruderman.

What book does your school use in the intro classical mechanics for physics majors ?

I think it's chapter on relativity is awful, but the rest is quite good.
