Classical theoretical physics

The publication is a basic university textbook providing a comprehensive view of classical theoretical physics. It offers the reader a perspective on the natural laws of classical physics, emphasizing their elegance, manifested in their mathematical and physical economy. The unifying element of the textbook is the use of variational principles in classical physics. The text covers the areas of mechanics, continuum mechanics, relativity theory, electromagnetic field, and general classical field theory. Each chapter is supplemented with a number of detailed examples and examples whose solution is up to the reader. Basic knowledge is commented on in historical context and their discoverers are briefly introduced. The book is intended for a basic physics course in science faculties, but it can also be used for doctoral studies.
