Thank you for your reply, FrediFizzx.

I sincerely appologize for the repeated postings. I have some trouble
with my computer. It is very annoying to me.

When I write general mathematical approach to mechanics, I meant that
the text should not be held back by insufficient mathematical
background on the part of the reader. I have no knowledge at all about
physics, but I will not stoop down to a simplistic approach to learn
it. I need both a rigorous, axiomatic framework using whatever
mathematical tools necessary, and at the same practical exercises. And
its coverage should be comprehensive.
