From the preface: As explained in Lecture 1, these lectures cover material that I had just finished writing, and which I hope will constitute the first part of a book on Mechanics for Mathematicians. But I tried to present them as course lectures in development, rather than as a finished product, and I benefited immensely from this, since such a presentation, and the reactions of the listeners, raised all sorts of questions that I hadn't thought of, and which will eventually result in a rather thorough rewriting of the original material.
In these notes, I have tried to preserve the informal nature of these lectures, aiming for spontaneity, rather than the more carefully arrangement of material one expects to find in a book, so that they will complement the book (if it ever appears) rather than merely serving as a repetition; however, some parts, especially the notes for the later lectures, are taken rather directly from parts of the book already written. Though the notes do not reproduce the material of the lectures in exactly the same order as they were given, they do cover basically the same material.
