Sinopsis

Mastering the laws that govern motion across particles and rigid bodies. This authoritative work covers the full landscape of analytical dynamics, from fundamental principles to advanced methods, with a clear path toward solving complex problems like the three-body system.

The book presents a rigorous framework for dynamics, including the equations of motion, energy and momentum concepts, and the powerful tools of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms. It explores how motion can be reduced, transformed, and analyzed through variational principles, integrals of motion, and transformation theory. With detailed treatments of rigid dynamics and vibrational analysis, it guides readers from basic ideas to sophisticated applications in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics.


  • Foundations of motion: holonomic and non-holonomic systems, constraints, and the role of energy and potential functions.

  • Advanced methods: Lagrange and Hamilton formalisms, canonical transformations, and integral invariants.

  • Special topics: dynamics of rigid bodies, moments of inertia, Euler angles, Poisson brackets, and transformation theory.

  • Problem-solving strategies: reduction of complex problems, such as the three-body problem, and analysis of vibrational systems.



Ideal for readers who seek a deep, mathematically grounded treatment of dynamics, from graduate students to researchers in physics and applied mathematics, as well as engineers needing a solid theoretical backbone.

Reseña del editor

Dynamics which have been published by various investigators since the first edition appeared. I have moreover added some historical matter, and rewritten many sections. It is not necessary to specify these in detail, but perhaps I may mention that the new explanation of the transformation-theory of Dynamics in 125 sprang from a desire to do justice to the earliest great work of Hamilton sgenius: that the changes in 69 (the motion of a body about a rixed point under no forces) arose from my opinion that the Jacobian functions are preferable to theW eierstrassian in the numerical computations :and that I should have liked to give a fuller proof of Sundman stheorem (181), but thought it better to give only such an account as might impel the reader to consult Mr Sundman sown accessible and readable memoir.
