Mechanical Systems, Classical Models: Volume 3: Analytical Mechanics Publisher: Springer | 2009 | PDF | 772 pages | ISBN: 9048127637 | 6.3Mb This third volume completes the Work Mechanical Systems, Classical Models. The first two volumes dealt with particle dynamics and with discrete and continuous mechanical systems. The present volume studies analytical mechanics. Topics such as Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, the Hamilton-Jacobi method, and a study of systems with separate variables are thoroughly discussed. Also included are variational principles and canonical transformations, integral invariants and exterior differential calculus, and particular attention is given to non-holonomic mechanical systems.
