Classical     Mechanics by Tom W.B. Kibble and Frank H. Berkshire

Classical Mechanics by Tom W.B. Kibble and Frank H. Berkshire

This book is designed for students with some previous acquaintance with the elementary concepts of mechanics, but the book starts from first principles, and little detailed knowledge is assumed. An essential prerequisite is a reasonable familiarity with differential and integral calculus, including partial differentiation.
