This introductory textbook is designed primarily for university undergraduates in physics, but is also suitable for students in other natural or engineering sciences with a focus on physics. It covers classical mechanics, emphasizing phenomena and basic concepts over formalism, aligning more with experimental than theoretical physics. The approach aims to bridge the traditional divide between these areas, reflecting modern teaching methods. While the treatment is accessible, it does incorporate essential mathematical techniques, such as differential and integral calculus, which are crucial for physics students. The initial chapters introduce these mathematical concepts within their physical context, ensuring that students with limited mathematical backgrounds can grasp the material. In addition to the printed version, an electronic PDF version is available for download, optimized for computer viewing. The textbook also includes numerous references to online physics teaching resources, with active links in the electronic version. Lastly, answers to exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, enhancing the learning experience.
