Classical Mechanics

Classical Mechanics is a branch of theoretical physics that formulates the laws governing the motion of macroscopic objects under the influence of forces, based on Newtonian principles and later refined by Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms, distinguishing it from quantum and relativistic mechanics by its adherence to deterministic, non-relativistic frameworks.
