I've got a free pdf version. That's why I recommended it.smodak said:
That can't be legal.Wrichik Basu said:
Yes, you're right. Just verified and deleted it. Actually a friend of mine had given it to me, so I never checked out copyright. I also have the hard copy, I kept the soft copy because I cannot always take the hard copy to all places, like washroomssmodak said:
Yes, I wish publishers will give rights to the soft copy when a hard copy is purchased - even the DRM-ed ones.Wrichik Basu said:I also have the hard copy, I kept the soft copy because I cannot always take the hard copy to all places, like washrooms
I wonder what's the use of analytical-mechanics textbooks in washrooms ;-)...Wrichik Basu said:Yes, you're right. Just verified and deleted it.

Best time to read physics. Try it :)vanhees71 said:
When you have a huge amount of school syllabus to complete, but you still want to read out of passion, then you'll have to utilise every bit of time.vanhees71 said:
Classical mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the motion of macroscopic objects and their interactions with each other, based on Newton's laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation.
Some popular books on classical mechanics include "Classical Mechanics" by John R. Taylor, "Introduction to Classical Mechanics" by David Morin, and "Classical Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum" by Leonard Susskind and George Hrabovsky.
Yes, a strong understanding of calculus and linear algebra is necessary to fully grasp the concepts and equations presented in books on classical mechanics. However, there are also books available that provide a more intuitive and conceptual approach to the subject.
Studying classical mechanics can be useful in understanding the fundamental principles of physics and how they apply to everyday objects and systems. It is also the basis for more advanced areas of physics, such as quantum mechanics and relativity.
Yes, there are many online resources and lectures available for learning classical mechanics, such as MIT OpenCourseWare and Khan Academy. Additionally, many universities offer online courses and lectures on classical mechanics.
