The Mechanic. Elementary Statics. Part 1.

Publisher Marketing: The book is designed for higher technical and natural faculties of universities, based on a lecture course on static analysis outlining general mechanical principles that Chaplygin, after the election of a professor at Moscow University in 1903, read to students III course. Reading the rate Chaplygin did not seek a special popularity, I did not like generalities, never distracted toward the possibility of building on the existing theories and their application or possible replacement of other ideas and directions. I do not touch it, and the history of science. The course was purely analytical, he is not usually used geometric considerations in those places where it was relatively easy to present the subject of a purely analytical. But his lectures were allocated a masterful selection of material, the extraordinary conciseness and remarkable consistency of presentation. In the few books written by him and published in the students under the supervision of the records of his lectures, this compactness and conciseness of presentation is particularly noticeable. Naturally, such a method of presentation required great effort from listeners attention, great independent work of literature of the subject and a good general training.
