A set of eight lectures by mathematician Michael Spivak, given in 2004, that treats elementary mechanics rigorously from a mathematician's perspective. It was written as the first part of a planned book on mechanics for mathematicians.

One commenter offers it as a free alternative to pricier physics-for-mathematicians texts, noting it is based on Spivak's eight lectures.

    And if the price is a bit much for you, check out http://alpha.math.uga.edu/~shifrin/Spivak_physics.pdf Elementary Mechanics from a Mathematician's Viewpoint which is based on eight lectures Spivak gave in 2004, and which he says "As explained in Lecture 1, these lectures cover material that I had just finished writing, and which I hope will constitute the ˇrst part of a book on Mechanics for Mathematicians."
