The course of theoretical mechanics based on vector and tensor analysis

The attention of readers is offered a classic course of theoretical mechanics, written by the outstanding Soviet theoretical physicist Ya.I. Frenkel on the basis of lectures that he read at the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of the Leningrad Industrial Institute. The book discusses: the elementary theory of movement of the material point and the system of points, as well as a solid body, vector analysis and its application to hydrodynamics, the principles of analytical mechanics, a tensor analysis based on the theory of transformation of the simplest coordinate systems using the theory of the movement of ideal hard body and to the theory elasticity, the geometric theory of generalized coordinates, which is, at the same time, the basis for the generalization of tensor analysis and its transformation into "Absolute differential calculus". The book is the introduction to theoretical mechanics as part of the course of theoretical physics, orienting the reader on all issues of theoretical mechanics, especially those that have special physical interest.
The book will be useful to mechanics, physicists, mathematicians to scientists, teachers, graduate students and students of natural and technical faculties of universities. Can be used as a training manual
