Hey /sci/

I'm interested in deepening my knowledge of classical mechanics. I know basic calculus-based physics (mechanics, waves, EM, etc.) and I've taken the basic calc sequence (1-3) along with ODEs. I don't know any linear algebra.

Are there any textbooks that would fulfill my needs or do I need to learn more math?

Thanks.

Try the green Rudin for some real and complex analysis. It's enjoyable and perfect for self study.

Have a look at Taylor's book. It has an excellent introduction to Lagrangian/Hamiltonian mechanics.
