can someone post a really good e-book of lagarangian mechanics(ofcourse for newbies:smile:)



if thsi is not the right forum for such a question then sorry:cry:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Here's a link posted in another thread by Zz: so you could have a look at that. More specifically, you could check out chapter 5 of the existing text section.

Here's a post by robphy where he lists a few texts.

You could also have a look through the Physic's napster thread as there may be something in there.

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
