Mechanica
Script error: No such module "For". Template:Short description Template:Italic title Mechanica (Template:Langx; 1736) is a two-volume work published by mathematician Leonhard Euler which describes analytically the mathematics governing movement.
Euler both developed the techniques of analysis and applied them to numerous problems in mechanics,[1] notably in later publications the calculus of variations.[2] Euler's laws of motion expressed scientific laws of Galileo and Newton in terms of points in reference frames and coordinate systems making them useful for calculation when the statement of a problem or example is slightly changed from the original.[3]
Newton–Euler equations express the dynamics of a rigid body. Euler has been credited with contributing to the rise of Newtonian mechanics especially in topics other than gravity.[4]
