Classical spin is described in terms of velocities and  acceleration so that knowledge of advanced mathematics is not  required. Written in the three-dimensional notation of vector  calculus, it can be followed by undergraduate physics students,  although some notions of Lagrangian dynamics and group theory are  required. It is intended as a general course at a postgraduate level  for all-purpose physicists.   This book presents a unified approach to classical and quantum  mechanics of spinning particles, with symmetry principles as the  starting point.   A classical concept of an elementary particle is presented. The  variational statements to deal with spinning particles are revisited.  It is shown that, by explicitly constructing different models,  symmetry principles are sufficient for the description of either  classical or quantum-mechanical elementary particles. Several spin  effects are analyzed.
