Overview
- Mechanics has been at the heart of theoretical physics, ever since Ernst Mach's seminal work on the subject
- Presents a thoroughly up-to-date treatment of the fundamentals behind how mechanical theories are constructed
- The author has spent a lifetime studying this subject and brings together all of his experience and thought on the mechanics of particles into this volume
- Comprehensive with references to over 600 books
Part of the book series: Mathematical and Analytical Techniques with Applications to Engineering (MATE)

Reviews
From the reviews:
"The second volume deals with mechanical systems of particles … . General theorems and conservation theorems are given. As one of important applications, the author discusses the problem of n particles. … As applications, motions of threads and straight bars are studied. … The book is written clearly … and its study does not require any special mathematical knowledge. It is intelligible and useful to a large community of scientists, engineers and students." (Boris Ivanovich Konosevich, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1158, 2009)
