Features: "The Physics Problem Dictionary" is a large-scale, comprehensive series of physics problem-solving books. The series covers all undergraduate physics content in comprehensive universities: from classical physics (mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, electricity, modern physics) to the "four major branches of mechanics," as well as nuclear physics, particle physics, condensed matter physics, plasma physics, astrophysics, laser physics, quantum optics, and quantum information. The content is up-to-date, emphasizes physics principles, focuses on interdisciplinary studies, and integrates with scientific research. The "Mechanics" volume consists of 12 chapters, divided into two volumes. The first volume includes: kinematics of a point mass, dynamics of a point mass and a system of point masses, vibrations and waves, central-force motion, kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies, and fluid mechanics. The second volume includes: Lagrangian formulation of mechanics, small oscillations of systems with finite degrees of freedom, Hamiltonian formulation of mechanics, and special relativity mechanics. This series can serve as a learning guide for undergraduate physics majors, a reference for graduate entrance exams, and a teaching resource for physics teachers in various universities.
