Hi!
I am looking for suitable ways to learn mechanics in mathematician's perspective.
I went through:
- multivariable calculus from Spivak,
- real analysis from Pugh,
- differential equations from Hirsh/Smale/Devaney (mostly focusing on linear system, existence & uniqueness, nonlinear dynamical system, bifurcation, and brief touch on chaos) (so no application covered)
- differential geometry from Pressley (but I hate pressley, so I am going to review through doCarmo)
- topology from Willard (but not all of them)
The problem is I did not take freshman physics coures (because of annoying labs;;)
My goal is to be able to read Abraham/Marsden's Foundations of Mechanics or something
of that level.
I was thinking of reading differential equations book's applications section first and... idk.
What books do you think is suitable for me to start learning classical mechanics?
