力学是研究运动的物理学的一个分支。力学的历史，以及其他科学分支的历史，是一部试图用尽可能少的普遍规律和普遍原理来解释世界的历史。最成功和富有成效的尝试源于这样一种想法，即可观测事件在其性质上是极端的，所寻求的一般原理是变分的，即它们断言某些参数在可实现的物理过程中获得其最大值或最小值。
Mechanics is a branch of physics studying motion. The history of mechanics, as well as the history of other branches of science, is a history of attempts to explain the world by means of the smallest possible number of universal laws and general principles. The most successful and fruitful attempts stem from the idea that the observable events are extreme in their character and that the general principles sought are variational, i.e. they assert that certain parameters obtain their maximum or minimum values in realizable physical processes.
