This book has evolved from lecture notes distributed to physics students at the University of Regensburg in Bavaria, Germany. Over time, various additions and omissions were made to the content based on time constraints. These notes differ from typical textbooks, and due to their popularity among students, they have been compiled into this volume. The book serves a dual purpose: it allows readers to explore alternative sets of the few principles of Classical Mechanics and presents a range of applications with varying levels of sophistication. Different physical problems are addressed using diverse methods, each requiring different degrees of mathematical complexity. To maintain clarity, essential mathematical techniques are included in appendices, ensuring that the physics remains the focal point. A key distinction of this textbook is its strong separation between axioms and fundamental experiences, and between claims, proofs, and comments, rather than presenting a continuous narrative. The text includes frequent references to other sections of the book and to different physical disciplines. Readers can choose to skip proofs, comments, applications, and footnotes, allowing them to focus solely on the main ideas.
