The tutorial fills significant gaps in the teaching of the most important section of general physics for physical and engineering specialties. The book, along with theoretical foundations, provides an extremely clear and detailed analysis of the most important physical situations for understanding, presented in the form of tasks. The manual has no analogues among the physics textbooks that have become familiar; in comparison with them, the concept of symmetry, transformations of reference frames, the Umov-Poynting vector are more widely used.
