No personal opinion here, since I haven't read it, but there is a:
Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics
https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/structure-and-interpretation-classical-mechanics-second-edition https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/structure-and-interpretation-...
...with Gerald Sussman as one of the authors. The Feynman Lectures on Physics might be what you are looking for:

- cartesius13 4y ago"Sussman and Wisdom make a bold experiment in communicating mathematical physics: they say exactly what they mean. Even a computer can follow their equations. By using this textbook, students painlessly master Scheme, a minimalist programming language, at the same time. This empowers them to go beyond the simplistic integrable systems that dominate the traditional course, to the richness of nonlinear resonance and chaotic dynamics. The hard core of rigor is softened by a personal and enthusiastic writing style" How come I never heard of this before?
- DarmokJalad1701 4y agoThere are some good resources here including some nicely formatted HTML versions of the book: https://github.com/sicmutils/sicmutils/wiki/SICM-and-FDG-Learning-Resources https://github.com/sicmutils/sicmutils/wiki/SICM-and-FDG-Lea... ^ The Github repo contains a Clojure version of the Scheme library used by the book.
- mudrockbestgirl 4y agoIt's a great resource but I don't think SICM is quite comparable to SICP because it's not aimed at complete beginners. If you know or remember nothing about Physics it will be a tough read and you'll be lost quickly. Personally I like the Theoretical Minimum lectures [0] - they are very clear and concise.
