What are the books you need to read, before this book, so it makes sense?
I'm an EE, but I admit I made no progress. Clearly I lack some deeper understanding - where can I best look to fix that?
- turingbike 8y agoI'll be honest, it's been a long time since I was studying classical mechanics, but 15 years ago I remember answering a similar question with "read the Feynman Lectures Volume I!" They are the edited version of the intro physics course he gave at CalTech... Here is a link: http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_toc.html http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_toc.html
- hnarayanan 8y agoIt's not a book that I would recommend but the lectures from a course: https://theoreticalminimum.com/courses/classical-mechanics/2011/fall https://theoreticalminimum.com/courses/classical-mechanics/2... This should give you plenty of intuition to then tackle SICM.
- mng2 8y agoIf you've not been previously exposed to stuff like Lagrangians and Hamiltonians, I'd suggest Taylor's Classical Mechanics text, which is quite friendly.
