  • Michael Fowler, Graduate Classical Mechanics, University of Virginia, 2020

    "In the present lectures, we provide fuller explanations [of the subject covered in Landau and Lifshitz Mechanics] to make the material (we hope) easier to follow on a first reading"

  • H. Georgi, Mechanics and Special Relativity, Harvard University

    "Newtonian mechanics and special relativity for students with good preparation in physics and mathematics ... Topics include oscillators damped and driven and resonance ... an introduction to Lagrangian mechanics and optimization, symmetries and Noether's theorem, special relativity, collisions and scattering, rotational motion, angular momentum, torque, the moment of inertia tensor, gravitation, planetary motion and a little glimpse of quantum mechanics"
