The textbook, the first edition of which was published in 1984, aims to provide the most concise introduction to the subject, including both its physical foundations and differential-geometric aspects. The publication covers a number of topics in an unconventional way: kinematics, general theorems of dynamics, derivation of the Lagrange equations, the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Some of the material goes beyond the university course: elements of the theory of linear and quadratic integrals in velocities, application of variational principles, a new proof of the Darboux theorem on canonical coordinates. The textbook includes problems illustrating and supplementing the theoretical material, and provides methodological instructions for them.

The publication is intended for students of higher educational institutions studying in the fields of "Mechanics and Mathematical Modeling", "Applied Mathematics", "Fundamental Mathematics and Mechanics", for postgraduate students of the mechanical, mathematical and physical faculties of universities, and for university teachers.

The textbook contains lectures on the entire development of soil science from the time of ancient agricultural civilizations to the present day. It examines the history of knowledge about soils and methods of studying them, adding details of the general history of science and society. It shows the connection of pedology with related natural and human sciences, with the history of studying and developing land resources. The book pays particular attention to the methodology of soil science as a natural history science and to the roles of outstanding scientists. It analyzes the formation and development of soil science in different countries, international cooperation of pedologists and the role of scientific societies in the history of soil science. The concluding chapters cover the present period of soil science development, its tasks in overcoming the anthropogenic degradation of the soil mantle of the Earth, which is an indispensable component of the biosphere and the most important natural resource for the further development of human civilization.

For college and graduate students specializing in soil science, agronomy, agrochemistry, ecology and other related sciences.

The book covers little-known phenomena of Leonardo da Vinci's work - his work in the field of scenography, musical practice, and research into the psychological foundations of visual activity. The leading theme of the book is a historical-semiotic study of the principles of creating iconic ensembles introduced into art by the Italian artistic tradition and, to a decisive extent, by the great master Leonardo da Vinci. The research is based on the methodology of comprehensive historical analysis of textual and iconographic material, fragments and drawings from Leonardo’s notebooks (codes). Illustrations are based on open sources and photographs of the author. Drawings from Leonardo's codices are based on digitized manuscripts available in the public domain.

The publication is addressed to students, graduate students and art experts, as well as to a wide range of readers interested in theory and history of art, artistic culture of Renaissance Italy.

The book is devoted to the application of the theory of linear non-stationary systems to the problems of stabilization of stationary movements of a satellite near the center of mass under the action of magnetic moments of various nature. An original rigorous analytical approach to the study of linear non-stationary systems of a special class is proposed. Solutions to a number of specific stabilization tasks based on this approach are presented.

The book will be useful for graduate students and students of Moscow State University, as well as teachers and researchers dealing with issues of dynamics and management.

Books in the ‘Rereading the Classics’ series give a modern analysis of the works that form part of school literature curricula.
