经典力学是力学的一个分支。经典力学是以牛顿运动定律为基础，在宏观世界和低速状态下，研究物体运动的基本学科。在物理学里，经典力学是最早被接受为力学的一个基本纲领。经典力学又分为静力学（描述静止物体）、运动学（描述物体运动）和动力学（描述物体受力作用下的运动）。16世纪，伽利略·伽利莱就已采用科学实验和数学分析的方法研究力学。他为后来的科学家提供了许多豁然开朗的启示。艾萨克·牛顿则是最早使用数学语言描述力学定律的科学家。

In physics, classical mechanics and quantum mechanics are the two major sub-fields of mechanics. Classical mechanics is concerned with the set of physical laws describing the motion of bodies under the influence of a system of forces. The study of the motion of bodies is an ancient one, making classical mechanics one of the oldest and largest subjects in science, engineering and technology. It is also widely known as Newtonian mechanics.
