The intro is florid. We are only told what this article is about in the fifth sentence and, even then, hype reigns.
[edit] Created sections
I agree with the unsigned criticism above. I made a first crack at sorting the text and dividing it into sections and layout in bullets. There are still florid sentences which can easilly be whacked down without loss of content. Next up to bat please step forward. Tom Lougheed 21:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] exact science
Article: "Classical mechanics has especially often been viewed as a model for other so-called exact sciences. Essential in this respect is the relentless use of mathematics in theories, as well as the decisive role played by experiment in generating and testing them."
- exact science sounds like "scientific science" to many people, including me, I don't think it needs to be mentioned in here. --Fs 23:27, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] statics
Statics is a branch of mechanics so it's strictly incorrect to define mechanics as the study of motion. I'll try another form of words.RDT2 15:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
