Dear Physics Forum advisers,
I am a collegiate junior with double majors in the mathematics and computer science. I bought a classical-mechanics book written by Herbert Goldstein in order to aid my current undergraduate research, grow my curiosity in the physics, and prepare for upcoming course in the quantum physics. I did not take any general-physics course since my freshman year, but I have been studying the general physics by Schaum's Outlines of College Physics, which I just finished the mechanics chapters. On today's morning, I bought the book Goldstein's Classical Mechanics since I often hear that it has a authoritative reputation like Rudin's PMA, but I found that his problem sets are rather discouraging for the first comers (at least me). So I am looking for a good book on the classical mechanics that can supplement Goldstein well. Could you recommend me some books to learn the classical mechanics along with Goldstein?
My mathematical level is on the introductory real analysis, vector calculus, and abstract linear algebra.
I apologize for the grammatical errors (leaving off to the Thanksgiving Party!)
Thanks,
