hello, I'm rather unhappy about a virus that caused my message to be
repeated continually in my last posting. Please excuse any annoyance
that my circumstance might have caused.
(so I'm writing this from a different computer and a new account.)

suggest you learn that first if you want a more thorough understanding
of
mechanics

thank you for the replies and consideration. to answer the first
question, I am looking for a treatment that is both a) theoretical and
axiomatic without assuming a limited mathematical background on the
reader's part and b) includes practical exercises and is comprehensive
without prerequisites in physics whatsoever (beyond a basic
common-sense intuition).

I appologize again for the pathology.
