		In particular, classical nonrelativistic electrodynamics predicts that the speed of light is a constant relative to an aether medium, a prediction that is difficult to reconcile with classical mechanics and which led to the development of special relativity.
		When combined with classical thermodynamics, classical mechanics leads to the Gibbs paradox in which entropy is not a well-defined quantity and to the ultraviolet catastrophe in which a flbody is predicted to emit infinite amounts of energy.

	Classical mechanics Summary
		Classical mechanics is a branch of physics which studies the deterministic motion of objects.
		In physics, classical mechanics is one of the two major sub-fields of study in the science of mechanics, which is concerned with the set of physical laws governing and mathematically describing the motions of bodies and aggregates of bodies.
		Classical mechanics is used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects, from projectiles to parts of machinery, as well as astronomical objects, such as spacecraft, planets, stars, and galaxies, and even microscopic objects such as large molecules.

	PlanetMath: Quantization
		It should be emphasized the result of quantization is not unique; in fact, methods of quantization usually possess inherent ambiguities, in the sense that, while performing quantization, one usually must make choices at certain points of the process.
		In classical mechanics, one studies the time-evolution of a classical system.
		Equation (1) is equivalent to the Hamilton equations.

		This group theoretical explanation accounts for many other quite different laws of physics, such as the time independent Schrodinger equation, Hamilton's equations in classical mechanics, Lorentz's equation for the motion of a charged particle in an electromagnetic field, and the motion of a classical particle in the presence of a Yang-Mills field.
		All of these equations are "passive" in the sense that we consider as valid the approximation wherein the 'particle" has no effect on the "field".
		But these equations are, in fact, closely associated (as necessary conditions) to "field equations" which determine the field from its sources.

	Statistical mechanics Summary
		Statistical mechanics is the application of statistics, which includes mathematical tools for dealing with large populations, to the field of mechanics, which is concerned with the motion of particles or objects when subjected to a force.
		One of the reasons however that scientists were interested in their study is that the equations governing the behaviour of a polymer chain were independent of the chain chemistry.
		From the diffusion equation it can be shown that the distance a diffusing particle moves in a media is proportional to the root of the time the system has been diffusing for, where the proportionality constant is the root of the diffusion constant.

		While the rest of this section of the site has listed books which I believe provide the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, on the present page I'll list a few books which either don't fit in the main categories I used or which are just quirky or interesting.
		The equations are provided in index notation, vector notation, general orthogonal curvilinear coordinates and the usual special cases of polar and spherical coordinates.
		Although the equations contained in Hughes and Gaylord's book can be found elsewhere and one could quibble with a few details, I think that the book symbolizes what a classical mechanics education ought to look like.

	The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences
		Thus, classical mechanics, which is the best known prototype of a physical theory, gives the second derivatives of the positional coordinates of all bodies, on the basis of the knowledge of the positions, etc., of these bodies.
		Indeed, they say "if the mechanics as here proposed should already be correct in its essential traits." As a matter of fact, the first application of their mechanics to a realistic problem, that of the hydrogen atom, was given several months later, by Pauli.
		Heisenberg's rules presupposed that the classical equations of motion had solutions with certain periodicity properties; and the equations of motion of the two electrons of the helium atom, or of the even greater number of electrons of heavier atoms, simply do not have these properties, so that Heisenberg's rules cannot be applied to these cases.

	2. Some Basic Ideas about Quantum Mechanics
		Until the closing decades of the last century the physical world, as studied by experiment, could be explained according to the principles of classical (or Newtonian) mechanics: the physics of everyday life.
		The information concerning environment is in the form of the potential which would be experienced by the particle according to classical mechanics (if you are unfamiliar with the classical concept of potential an explanation is available).
		These special solutions of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation turn out to be the energy eigenfunctions, and can be written as a time-independent factor multiplied by a sinusoidal time-dependent factor related to the energy (in fact the frequency of the sine wave is given by the relation E=h*frequency).
