This page includes material that was created to teach an advanced graduate course on the Quantum Theory of Solids
As reference book I mainly used:
L. D. Lamdau and E.M. Lifshitz, "Course of Theoretical Physics Volume 1"
Herbert Goldstein, Charles Poole and John Safko, "Classical Mechanics"
Of course, like with any advanced graduate course the course does not fully follow one textbook and below is a non-exhaustive list of additional useful references
V. I. Arnold, "Methods of Classical Mechanics"
Jorge V. José and Eugene J. Saletan, "Classical Dynamics A Contemporary Approach"
You are most welcome to use my notes in teaching, however, kindly inform me and I would be very happy to receive from you any suggestions for improvement. It is impossible to catch all of this on a first round
