| Sep 19, 2015 at 16:08 | comment | added | rdt2 | Thanks. Truth be told, Marsden is rough going for me!! I like Arnold's book and am pulling bits out of it. I'll also have a look at Loomis. One of my favourites is Bill Burke's Diff Grad and Curl are Dead but his own untimely death was a great loss. I might edit the OP to see if others have suggestions. | |
| Sep 15, 2015 at 16:40 | comment | added | Dave L Renfro | I'm a little out of touch with this subject now (hence the comment rather than an answer), but two books that that were fairly well known in the 1970s are Advanced Calculus by Loomis/Sternberg (has a lengthy chapter on classical mechanics) and Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics by V. I. Arnold. And of course there's Abraham/Marsden's Foundations Of Mechanics, but this might be a bit rough going for your students. | |
