The course of theoretical mechanics based on vector and tensor analysis. Frenkel Y.I.

The attention of readers is proposed to the classic course of theoretical mechanics, written by the outstanding Soviet theoretic physicist Y. I. Frenkel on the basis of lectures that he read at the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Faculty of the Leningrad Industrial Institute.

The book is considered: 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; principles of analytical mechanics; a tenshore analysis based on the theory of transformation of the simplest coordinate systems using an ideal solid body to the theory of movement and to the theory of elasticity; The geometric theory of generalized coordinates, which at the same time is the basis for the generalization of tensor analysis and its transformation into "absolute differential calculus." The book is an 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 - scientists, teachers , graduate students and students of natural and technical faculties of universities. Can be used as a textbook.
