I am taking a Quantum Mechanics course this semester and the professor started off by showing us how Newtonian Mechanics lead to Lagrangian Mechanics, then Hamiltonian...etc...until we got to the Quantum Mechanical wave functions.
This was all done in a quantitative sense, using variational calculus. Does anyone know of any good mathematics/physics/mathematical physics textbook that goes into this type of detail for mechanics? I was looking into "Advanced Calculus" by Loomis, since Loomis' Calculus book was amazing, I imagine the Advanced book would be good too..
