Buy Classical Mechanics by Herbert Goldstein, Charles P. Poole & John Safko (ISBN: 9788131758915) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: For those serious about mechanics - This book is still going strong because it is one of the best. It's just a pity that in some countries the publisher asks a rip-off price for it. But these days there's always an overseas supplier offering books like this at a fair price. Review: Not for me, but a very good present for theoretical physicists :) - Very good quality overall, had a little wrinkle on the edges, but it has travelled a lot, and the damage could be easily remedied.

This book is still going strong because it is one of the best. It's just a pity that in some countries the publisher asks a rip-off price for it. But these days there's always an overseas supplier offering books like this at a fair price.

Classical Mechanics
The book arrived promptly and met all standards described by the buyer. I'd recommend this book to anyone taking an advanced mechanics course, particularly courses involving Lagrangian treatment of problems.

Solid and clear
This is a great book for learning mathematical, classical mechanics. I've been using it to help me design a 3D physics simulation program for rigid body dynamics and it has answered all of my questions. I've also used Landau - Mechanics: Volume 1, which I found to be quite dense and fast paced. Landau's explanations seem well suited to an abstract physicist, less to a pragmatic mechanist who just wan't to get things moving! This book (Goldstien's) goes into plenty of detail and often gives several different explanations for the results discussed. I also like the numerous examples where the maths is tied in to some excellent non-trivial practical examples, like the procession of the Earth about its symmetrical axis. This grounds the maths nicely with proper physics.

not for me
i bought this book for someone other than me, so i can't give an honest opinion about it. all i can say is that the one who got the book never complained so i'm guessing it's good...

Excellent text on advanced level classical mechanics. Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism’s explained in great detail. Just a pity the print quality is poor. Expected more from Pearson.
