A Treatise On The Analytical Dynamics Of Particles And Rigid Bodies: With An Introduction To The Problem Of Three Bodies (1917) - Hardcover

by E. T. Whittaker (Author)

""A Treatise On The Analytical Dynamics Of Particles And Rigid Bodies: With An Introduction To The Problem Of Three Bodies"" is a book written by E. T. Whittaker and published in 1917. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and techniques of analytical dynamics, a branch of classical mechanics that deals with the motion of particles and rigid bodies under the influence of forces and torques. The book is divided into two main sections. The first section covers the dynamics of particles, including the equations of motion, conservation laws, and the theory of small oscillations. The second section deals with the dynamics of rigid bodies, including the kinematics and dynamics of rotations, the equations of motion, and the theory of stability. The book also includes an introduction to the problem of three bodies, which is a classic problem in celestial mechanics that deals with the motion of three celestial bodies under the influence of their mutual gravitational attraction. Overall, ""A Treatise On The Analytical Dynamics Of Particles And Rigid Bodies: With An Introduction To The Problem Of Three Bodies"" is a valuable resource for students and researchers in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics who are interested in the principles and techniques of analytical dynamics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
