Classical Undergrad Classical Mechanics with Hamiltonian formulation

[Gene Naden]

I am looking for an undergraduate textbook on Classical Mechanics that includes Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulations. One reason for this is that I am interested in quantization and second quantization. It should include treatment of harmonics oscillators. Thanks!

The final chapter of my book contains a treatment of both the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms with the harmonic oscillator being one of the more recurring examples in the case of the Hamiltonian formalism. However, it may be a bit much to consider it just for that part unless you can find it in a library or online library (I know my university has three online copies available to students).

For something more focused on those concepts only, you could try David Tong's lecture notes.
