Theoretical Mechanics
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 students who require a strong theoretical foundation. It covers essential topics such as the equilibrium of force systems, the geometry of motion, and the laws of motion for particles and rigid bodies under the action of forces. This "short course" is designed to deliver a high level of mathematical precision while remaining accessible for a one- or two-semester curriculum in technical colleges and universities.
