Synopsis

This book explains the fundamental concepts upon which mechanics, a branch of physics concerned with the response of physical bodies, both at rest and in motion, to applied force, is built. From the moment of a force to Varignons Theorem of Moments, the author carefully explains the principles behind mechanics, providing numerous examples and illustrations to aid the reader's understanding. The author positions mechanics within its place in the history of science, building upon the work of Newton and others. This book will prove useful for students of mechanics and those interested in the broader history of science.
