Entertaining Mechanics

Mechanics is one of the oldest sciences known to mankind, and at the same time, it is an eternally young, interesting, amazing, and very useful science. We encounter its problems every day, often without realizing it. The wonderful book by Yakov Isidorovich Perelman invites readers to get acquainted with this science through interesting puzzles, examples, and paradoxes. As the author himself writes, "the goal of 'Entertaining Mechanics' is to awaken the dormant thought… This is not a textbook, but a free book that aims to increase interest in the subject through entertaining comparisons."
