This is an upper division classical mechanics text. It covers both Newtonian and Hamiltonian/Lagrangian mechanics with a variety of applications. Topics covered include oscillations, chaos, central force motion, rigid bodies, waves, and special relativity.
I think this is a good text.
Author: Dave Let me first say that I did not use this text as a student. I used Symon. However, as an instructor, I really like this text. I think it does things at the appropriate level, and provides the student with enough information to solve problems, but not so much that they don't have to think.
