This book develops elementary classical mechanics in a setting that
is appropriate for beginning university mathematics students
without requiring a background in physics. It is an ideal first
look at the subject for those who will go on to study more advanced
aspects of the subject, such as Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, and
quantum mechanics. These more advanced developments of mechanics
are at the forefront of research in modern mathematics. Certainly,
topics such as symplectic geometry, Lagrangian intersection theory,
spectral theory, pseudodifferential operators, etc. do not require
a background in classical mechanics, but studies in these areas are
greatly enriched by a knowledge of their roots and how some of
their motivational issues arose.
