This short course of theoretical mechanics is designed for students of higher and secondary technical schools. It treats the basic methods of theoretical mechanics and the spheres of their application, covering essential topics such as statics of rigid bodies, kinematics, and dynamics. The book is structured to proceed from particular cases to general principles—such as presenting plane stati…
Theoretical Mechanics: A Short Course is a widely recognized textbook translated from the Russian edition, providing a rigorous and systematic introduction to the fundamental principles of mechanics. The book is divided into three main sections: Statics, Kinematics, and Dynamics. S. Targ presents the material with a focus on logical consistency and clarity, making it suitable for engineering st…
