Textbook Information
For students that prefer to study the course in English, I suggest to use three classical textbooks:
- F.W. Sears, M.W.Zemansky and H.D. Young, University Physics, Addison-Wesley (1987)
- M. Alonso, E.J. Finn, Fundamental University Physics, Vol. 1 , Addison-Wesley
- K.R. Symon, Mechanics, Addison-Wesley
For problems and exercises:
1. Rees, Physics by Example, Cambridge
