Theoretical mechanics cover

Theoretical mechanics

by Ted Clay Bradbury

This is the best textbook that I have seen for upper division or graduate level mechanics. The table of contents and the solutions to the end-of-chapter problems, handwritten by Bradbury, are posted at archive.org under the title, "Theoretical Mechanics - Problem solutions."
