This chapter presents basic concepts and formal structures of classical nonrelativistic mechanics and electrodynamics. The term classical is used in order to draw the distinction with respect to the corresponding quantum theories. The chapter also discusses the Newtonian mechanics in detail. The natural symmetry operations of classical mechanics are the Galilean transformations, mediating the transition from one inertial coordinate system to another. The fundamental laws of classical mechanics can equally well be formulated applying the elegant Lagrangian and Hamiltonian descriptions based on Hamilton's action principle. Finally, Maxwell's equations for electric and magnetic fields are introduced as the basic laws of classical electrodynamics.
