Selected Lectures on Physics . Part 1. Mechanics. Methodical instructions for students of ULSTU” by the authors of R. A. Brager and W. M. Prokofiev is not just a textbook, but a real find for students seeking a deeper understanding of the basics of mechanics and physics in general. This work, created by a team of authors, is a concise, but at the same time informative course that will help not only to master the theoretical aspects, but also to apply them in practice. The first part of the book focuses on mechanics, one of the most fundamental areas of physics, which studies the movement of bodies and the interaction between them. The authors offer readers a fascinating journey through the basic laws of mechanics, ranging from the simplest concepts to more complex topics. Each lecture is imbued with clear explanations, examples and tasks, which makes the material accessible and understandable to students of different levels of training. This book will be especially useful for those who study physics at the initial stage, as well as for those who want to refresh their knowledge before exams or test papers. Students of technical and natural sciences will find in it valuable information that will help them not only in their studies, but also in their future professional activities. The topics covered in the book cover a wide range of topics, from Newton's laws and the principle of conservation of energy to dynamics and static mechanics. The authors pay attention not only to theory, but also to practical tasks, which allows readers to consolidate the knowledge gained. It is important to note that the guidelines presented in the book will help students organize their time and effectively prepare for classes. The style of the authors is clear and accessible, which makes reading not only useful, but also fascinating. R. A. Brager and W. M. Prokofiev experienced teachers who know how to convey complex ideas to students . Their approach to learning is based on the understanding that physics is not just a set of formulas, but a living science that explains the world around us. If you are looking for teaching materials in physics that will help you not only understand, but also love this science, then "Selected lectures in physics. Part 1. Mechanics" is what you need. The book will be a great addition to other textbooks and manuals, such as Physics for All or Fundamentals of Mechanics, and will help you prepare for the physics exams. This work will also be of interest to teachers who are looking for quality teaching materials for their classes. The book can serve as a basis for the development of courses and lectures, as well as inspire the creation of its own teaching aids. Thus, "Selected lectures on physics. Part 1. Mechanics" is not just a textbook, but a real key to understanding physics. It will help you not only to pass exams successfully, but also to develop critical thinking and a scientific approach to solving problems. Do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of mechanics with this wonderful guide!
