The theory of the top v. I Introduction to the kinematics and kinetics of the top

The lecture series on The Theory of the Top was originally given as a dedication to Göttingen University by Felix Klein in 1895, but has since found broader appeal. The Theory of the Top: Volume I. Introduction to the Kinematics and Kinetics of the Top is the first of a series of four self-contained English translations that provide insights into kinetic theory and kinematics. Key features: Presentation of a historical nature complete with recent advances and additional notes; Annotated notes by translators provide insights into the natureof science and mathematics in the early 19th century; Each volume interweavestheory and applications; Volume I focuses on providing background material and basic theoretical concepts Graduates and researchers interested in the theories behind applied mechanics will find this an insightful and thorough account. Provides insights into kinematic theory Discusses practical uses of applied theoretical mechanics Incorporates both historical matter and recent advances INDICE: Preface.- Foreword.- Advertisement of the Book.- Introduction.- The Kinematics of the Top.- Introduction to the Kinetics of the Top.- The Euler Equations.- Agenda and Supplements.- Translator’s Notes.- References.
