A graduate classical mechanics companion covering variational principles, rigid bodies, Hamilton-Jacobi, and continuum hints, written so you do not have to reconstruct skipped lines from lecture.

For first-year graduate students and self-studiers.

• Variational principles and constraints
• Rigid body and small oscillations at grad depth
• Canonical structure and Hamilton-Jacobi
• Special relativity in mechanics language
• Qualifying-exam style problems with solutions
