Hello,
I'm a second year physics student. We are going to use "hand and finch analytical mechanics", however the reviews I saw about this book are bad.
I've already taken calculus for mathematicians, linear algebra, classical mechanics, special relativity, and electromagnetism.
The topics it covers are:
Lagrangian Mechanics
Variational calculus and its application to mechanics
Linear Oscillations
One dimensional systems: Central forces and the kepler problem
Neother's theorem and Hamiltonian dynamics
Theoretical mechanics: From canonical transformations to angle-action variables
Rotating coordinates Systems
The dynamics of rigid bodies
And more.
Could you recommend the best book or study method you know?
Thanks
