Upper Division (Junior Sr. Level) Mechanics Textbook Recommendations?

AI Thread Summary
For self-study in mechanics, Taylor's "Classical Mechanics" is highly recommended due to its clarity and the availability of solutions for odd-numbered problems. This resource is particularly beneficial for those preparing to return to graduate school.

I am reviewing to go back to grad school, and I need suggestions on a mechanics book to review. Having a readily available solutions manual is a huge plus since I am self studying.

Recommendations?

Thanks,

I would use Taylor "Classical Mechanics". It is quite a brilliant text and it has solutions to odd-numbered problems in the back. Good luck!
