About this title: For thirty years this has been the acknowledged standard in advanced classical mechanics courses. This classic text enables students to make connections between classical and modern physics - an indispensable part of a physicist's education. In this new edition, Beams Medal winner Charles Poole and John Safko have updated the text to include the latest topics, applications, and notation, to reflect today's physics curriculum. They introduce students to the increasingly important role that nonlinearities play in contemporary applications of classical mechanics. New numerical exercises help ...

"his style of teaching isnt as for a 2nd year student... its disappointing when it takes ages for you to cover mere one page...:) especially in the beginning of it... I also think that the book lacks some diagrams.. some of the terms that are very impotant in developing your understanding further in the book, will just be introduced briefly and thats no good I believe... but maybe its my fault that am not that used to self study ..:) by the way... Its a good book I should say.."
"This has got the best footnotes and endnotes ever for a textbook. An old roommate of mine in college (who was not a physics major) used to read it for fun because of the notes. My two favorites:
This is the first volume of the Course of Theoretical Physics, that monument to the genius of Lev Landau....The style might be described as that of "hand-waving arguments" written down on paper... (64)
Hence the jabberwockian sounding statement: the polhode rolls without slipping on the herpolhode lying in the invariant plane. (207)
Well, they still amuse me now, but they seemed much funnier when I was a student. This is the only intermediate-level classical mechanics book I ever used, so I can't say whether it's better or worse than others."
