Need for a Dynamics navigation box

I compiled a list of all articles that I've found related to Classical Mechanics. I think it is important start indexing/listing all the articles that have direct relation with Classical Mechanics (Dynamics, statics etc). Knowing what articles are out there will force editors to start thinking about the individual articles in context. This will provide structure to the topic of mechanics, avoiding duplications and improving the overall reading of the articles. The current form of this navigation box is not the way it should be. It is just a first step. I better way to present the navigation box should be thought and discussed. For example: Do we need sections on Dynamics of particles, Dynamics of rigid bodies etc...

Some of the articles listed do not belong in this navigation box if one considers Dynamics as meaning Kinetics. In this case, some of these articles should be placed in a navigation box for Kinematics. On the other hand, if Dynamics is considered as Dynamics=Kinetics+Kinematics, then the articles should remain. If this is confusing please read Analytical dynamics, and you will understand the dilemma. - Sanpaz (talk) 20:29, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have reorganized the box under new topic headings. See what you think. Brews ohare (talk) 14:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't necessary to have this nav box when there's already a Classical mechanics navigation box. (Most articles that include this box also include the classical mechanics one; both display Newton's second law!) I suggest deleting this template and removing the links to it.
