Sinopse

This short primer, geared towards students with a strong interest in mathematically rigorous approaches, introduces the essentials of classical physics, briefly points out its place in the history of physics and its relation toámodern physics, and explains what benefits can be gained from a mathematical perspective.As a starting point, Newtonian mechanics is introduced and its limitations are discussed. This leads to and motivates theástudy of different formulations of classical mechanics, such as Lagrangian andáHamiltonian mechanics, which are the subjects of later chapters.In the second part, a chapter on classical field theories introduces more advanced material. Numerous exercises are collected in the appendix.
