Any good lecture notes for classical mechanics?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking quality lecture notes on classical mechanics, several resources are highly recommended. The MIT OpenCourseWare for Classical Mechanics offers comprehensive readings and embedded notes that cover essential topics. Additionally, edX provides multiple courses focusing on different aspects of mechanics, including kinematics, dynamics, momentum, and energy. Yale's course by Professor V. Balakrishnan is also noted for its clarity and depth, making it a popular choice among learners. It's advised to review the specific topics covered in each resource to determine which aligns best with individual learning needs.

Any good lecture notes for classical mechanic?

Have a look at Classical Mechanics by Prof. V. Bakakrishnan. It's the best I have come across, and have recommended it to many here. The lectures are also available in the PF media gallery. Use the search option to search for them.

Just an addition after I looked at what @smodak has suggested: the two suggestions are a bit different in the sense that, Prof. Balakrishnan teaches classical formalism. Be sure to go through the topics closely to see which one suits you the best.
 
got it! thanks

By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
