Features: Main Features: The book has a clear and rational structure, concise theoretical explanations, and succinct text. The starting point is appropriately raised, and content overlapping with physics is removed while modern scientific and technological topics are added. At the same time, selected content is emphasized to reduce teaching hours. It highlights the cultivation of engineering concepts and the application of mechanics in engineering. Numerous examples and exercises closely related to engineering practice are included for the convenience of teachers' selection and students' practice. During the writing process, attention is paid to fostering students' ability to establish mechanical models and solve practical problems through simplifying and comparing engineering examples. According to the new basic requirements for teaching theoretical mechanics, non-essential content is marked with an asterisk for differentiation, allowing users to select based on their needs. The asterisked content belongs to the deepening and broadening section. An inspirational teaching approach is pursued, with some thought-provoking questions inserted in the main text in italics, attempting to guide students to a deeper understanding of key concepts and leaving space for reflection. This book is one of the research outcomes of the Jiangsu Province project "Research and Practice on the Reform of Teaching Content and Curriculum System for Engineering Mechanics Series Courses" and is part of Southeast University's general higher education "15th Five-Year Plan" teaching materials. The book is divided into four parts: Statics, Kinematics, Dynamics, and Fundamentals of Analytical Mechanics. It can serve as a textbook for theoretical mechanics courses in universities for majors such as mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aerospace, and engineering mechanics, and can also be referenced by relevant engineering professionals.
