Abstract: The work presents the maintenance is short stated of Leonard Euler treatise “Mechanics or a science about movement stated analytically” published in 1736 in St.-Petersburg. Newton's fundamental achievements in dynamics of material point received analytical development in the Euler's treatise.

Key words: dynamics of material point, differential equations, curvilinear coordinates.
