Abstract
Elementary mechanics is the model for the physical sciences. Its principles and methods are the ideal for most other disciplines that deal with nature. Substantial parts even of mathematics have been developed to deal with the problems of mechanics. Every scientist has a fairly well-defined picture of the way mechanics works and the kind of results it yields.
