New book available for purchase. https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-658-50592-9

Find the supplementary material (worksheets for all examples) at https://github.com/sn-code-inside/Technische-Mechanik-mit-SMath. It is currently in German only, Upload of a trilingual version (German, English, Russian) will follow, yet the Russian version for now won't be verified against decent mechanics books from Russia. Just an AI translation.

I recommend to purchase the pdf instead of the paper copy because the latter is in black and white even though it was promised in color Should be available at all universities licensing Springerlink.

EDIT: The publisher announced that printing on demand will be in color.

I shall aproach Lan publisher in St. Peterburg for a Russian edition. Springer Nature returned me the rights for this because they can't license it themselves due to sanctions.
In parallel, I am working on an English edition (at Springer).

Dieses Lehrbuch führt am Beispiel der Technischen Mechanik in die Nutzung der Mathematiksoftware SMath Studio für die Durchführung und Dokumentation technischer Berechnungen ein. Das für Privatanwender kostenlose SMath ist, ähnlich wie Mathcad, eine leistungsfähige Alternative zu Papier, Bleistift und Taschenrechner oder auch zu den bekannten Tabellenkalkulationsprogrammen. Das Buch nimmt Einsteiger an die Hand, behandelt aber auch Erweiterungen wie numerische Methoden und Computeralgebra. Mit Beispielen aus Statik, Festigkeitslehre und Dynamik wird das typische Themenspektrum der Technischen Mechanik in technischen Studiengängen, insbesondere im Maschinenbau, abgedeckt.

Hi Martin,

Congratulations and Thanks!
I’ve already bought the pdf, even if my German is poor enough.
It's an excellent idea to put together many subjects linked to SMath.
Waiting for the English and, why not for the French edition.

Regards,
Ioan

Thanks, Ioan.

I am just proof-reading the English and Russian translations of the worksheets on Github. Actually I can ask my student assistant to generate a raw French translation using AI (as he does with Russian without understanding a single word). The quality is really good, there are only minor glitches.
A Spanish version might be a good idea as well, as we use to have Mexican exchange students from Tec de Monterrey.

Best regards, Martin
