Written by professional physicists with over 140 years' of teaching experience combined, this book is aimed at students and lecturers in physics.

The authors present analytical mechanics as the basis for the study of theoretical physics, its methods and ideas forming the foundation of all other branches including quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and field theory.

The book begins by discussing the motion of particles in a central field and scattering of particles based on Newton's equations. It then introduces and explores Lagrange equations for various systems, linear and non-linear oscillations, Hamiltonian formalism, and the motion of a rigid body. Each topic is accompanied by problems that are suitable for seminars and testing.

The book also includes five supplemental sections, which provide practical illustrations of the theoretical material. These sections can be used by teachers as the basis for conducting a specialized course, or by curious students who wish to explore different applications of analytical mechanics independently.

Industry Reviews

This book is famous among professors and students of physics all over Russia for its exceptionally clear and simple style of presentation. I do not know any other textbook on classical mechanics comparable to this one by its clarity and pedagogical value. * Michel Dyakonov, University of Montpellier *
My impression is that this is the best currently available course of classical mechanics. * Vladimir Zelevinsky, Michigan State University *
Just perfect for a lower-division or an upper-division university course. In addition, many professionals and people who want to refresh their knowledge of mechanics will find this treasure of a book highly useful. * Dmitry Budker, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, and University of California, Berkeley *
This is a great book, polished to pedagogical perfection. It is good both for students and for instructors. * Gregory Falkovich, Weizmann Institute *
