Excerpt from Rational and Applied Mechanics This book is written primarily for students entering upon their second collegiate year. Their knowledge of mechanics is limited to what was gained during their study of physics and from practice in laboratory and shop; hence no apology is needed for making matters plain and easy in the first chapters of a work which later on leads up to the Theory of Structures, Internal Stress, Motion under Complicated Conditions, Forms of Energy, and higher Graphics.

Excerpt from Applied Mechanics The immediate object of publishing it is, to enable him 'to dispense with giving to the students a large amount of notes. As, however, it is believed that it may be found useful by others, the following remarks in regard to its general plan are submitted.

Excerpt from Lessons in Applied Mechanics The present volume consists in great measure of selections from the matter contained in a larger treatise 1 on the same subject, of which it may there fore in a certain sense be described as an abridged edition. The portions selected have, however, been completely rearranged and rewritten in fuller detail with much additional illustration, and the whole con sequently forms a virtually new book, which, being smaller in compass and more elementary in Character, may, it is hoped, serve as an introduction to the larger work, and meet the wants of junior students.

Excerpt from A Manual of Applied Mechanics Other portions of the work, which are wholly or partly new, are indicated in their places. In the arrangement of this treatise an effort has been made to adhere as rigidly as possible to a methodical classification of its subjects; and, in particular, care has been taken to keep in view the distinction between the comparison of motions with each other, and the relations between motions and forces, which was first pointed out by Monge and Ampere, and which Mr. Willis has so successfully applied to the subject of mechanism. The observing of that distinction is highly conducive to the correct understanding and ready application of the principles of Mechanics.

Excerpt from A Text-Book on Applied Mechanics, Vol. 1 In every part of the subject a number of examples have been fully worked out, and at the end of each Lecture 3. Series of carefully selected questions has been arranged in the precise order of, and relating solely to, the subject matter of the Lecture, so that teachers and students may have a minimum of trouble in finding suitable examples.

Available for the first time in English, this two-volume course on theoretical and applied mechanics has been honed over decades by leading scientists and teachers, and is a primary teaching resource for engineering and maths students at St. Petersburg University. The course addresses classical branches of theoretical mechanics (Vol. 1), along with a wide range of advanced topics, special problems and applications (Vol. 2). This first volume of the textbook contains the parts “Kinematics” and “Dynamics”. The part “Kinematics” presents in detail the theory of curvilinear coordinates which is actively used in the part “Dynamics”, in particular, in the theory of constrained motion and variational principles in mechanics. For describing the motion of a system of particles, the notion of a Hertz representative point is used, and the notion of a tangent space is applied to investigate the motion of arbitrary mechanical systems. In the final chapters Hamilton-Jacobi theory is applied​ for the integration of equations of motion, and the elements of special relativity theory are presented. This textbook is aimed at students in mathematics and mechanics and at post-graduates and researchers in analytical mechanics.
