Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics

Funny that we call it classical. Newton wouldn't have called it so. Maybe we should categorize sciences based on the spatial scale at which they operate.A specific scale might define a world that has it's logic system, purpose, reasoning etc. For example, quantum scale, human scale and cosmic scales have their own physics, logic and causality.

I've often dreamed of a "Structure and interpretation" series of books.

Scheme is pretty close to a universal computation substrate that provides enough ergonomics to be human understandable and writing anything out in it provides genuine illumination to what's going on under the hood.

The "little" books are a tease of what that series could be.

I didn't get anywhere trying to read this book. Then I watched a youtube video about calculus of variations and suddenly Lagrangian dynamics made total sense to me. I should probably try reading the book again.

Does anybody know of a way to run the code in this book? I've tried a couple of times but never quite succeeded.
