Review text

The problem of determining how two rigid bodies move in space after colliding with each other is considered. An explicit algorithm for the solution of the problem is presented in the form of a flowchart containing references to equations listed in the appendix to the paper. An illustrative example is worked out, in which the collision of two rigid spheres with nonuniform mass distributions is studied.
