No-Nonsense Classical Mechanics: A Student-Friendly Introduction

What if there was a way to learn classical mechanics without all the usual fluff? What if there were a book that allowed you to see the whole picture and not just tiny parts of it?

Thoughts like this are the reason that No-Nonsense Classical Mechanics now exists.

What will you learn from this book?

• Get to know all fundamental mechanics concepts — Grasp why we can describe classical mechanics using the Lagrangian formalism, the Newtonian formalism, or the Hamiltonian formalism and how these frameworks are connected.
• Learn to describe classical mechanics mathematically — Understand the meaning and origin of the most important equations: Newton’s second law, the Euler-Lagrange equation and Hamilton’s equations.
• Master the most important classical mechanics systems — Read fully annotated, step-by-step calculations and understand the general algorithm we use to describe them.
• Get an understanding you can be proud of — Learn about beautiful and deep insights like Noether’s theorem or Liouville’s theorem and how classical mechanics emerges in a proper limit of special relativity, quantum mechanics and general relativity.

No-Nonsense Classical Mechanics is the most student-friendly book on classical nechanics ever written.

Here’s why.

• First of all, it’s nothing like a formal university lecture. Instead, it’s like a casual conservation with a more experienced student. This also means that nothing is assumed to be “obvious” or “easy to see”.
• Each chapter, each section, and each page focuses solely on the goal to help you understand. Nothing is introduced without a thorough motivation and it is always clear where each equation comes from.
