So I have used Taylors book as an undergraduate as well as Goldstein and the Marion/Thornton books for graduate courses. What makes this book so attractive is the wealth of fully worked examples of problems that are unusual and interesting. Most other text books seem to rework the standard problems without deviating too much away from those. Morin adds entertaining twists and variations that are genuinely thought provoking.<br>This book is definitely pitched at undergraduates...for instance while there is a section on Lagrangian mechanics, the related Hamiltonian and its canonical transformations are not. But a graduate student can still get a wealth of deeper conceptual understanding, which may help with the dreaded qualifying exams.<br>If you are into mechanics and need a great learning resource, this is highly recommended.
