I've been looking for a textbook in classical mechanics that's readily available (like can be found in the library of James Cook University of Townsville, Australia) and full of fully-answered questions in the Lagrangian/Hamiltonian formalisms yet I can't find any. My first port of call was the Schaum's Outlines and Demystified series but the only member of these series I could find that was relevant was Lagrangian Dynamics which is difficult for me to track-down in real-life.

It would be particularly helpful if one could point me to a free eBook with this material.

  • I always liked Classical Mechanics by R. Douglas Gregory which I've seen in two different uni libraries. – lemon Jul 15 '14 at 17:28

    Hi Brenton Horne, Phys.SE only allows a limited number of resource recommendation questions, because they tend to be e.g. primarily opinion-based and list-questions. I'm closing this a duplicate, not because it is an exact duplicate, but to point in the right direction. – Qmechanic Jul 15 '14 at 18:24

John R. Taylor's Classical Mechanics has a couple of chapters on Lagrange and Hamilton that I found very helpful.
