Classical mechanics is a branch of physics which studies the deterministic motion of objects. It includes several different branches which represent specialised forms or stages of development:
- Newtonian mechanics
- Lagrangian mechanics
- Hamiltonian mechanics
- Special Relativity
- General Relativity
- thermodynamics
- statistical mechanics
- continuum mechanics
- geometric optics
Classical mechanics excludes any physics which involves the uncertainty principle, so quantum mechanics is not "classical", and is sometimes called modern physics by contrast. Some sources also exclude so-called "relativistic physics" from that category. However, a number of sources do include Einstein's mechanics, which in their view represents classical mechanics in its most developed and most accurate form.
