Mechanica (Latin: Mechanica sive motus scientia analytice exposita; 1736) is a two-volume work published by mathematician Leonhard Euler, which describes analytically the mathematics governing movement. He both developed the techniques of analysis and applied them to numerous problems in mechanics.[1]
