This might be a good introductory book if you haven't taken a mechanics course before, but using Newton's laws for understanding the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies is a terrible idea. > All the principles are described mathematically in a coordinate-free manner. Newton's laws aren't coordinate free, e.g., Newton's second law written in polar coordinates would…
