Key features:
* Complete and unabridged presentation with recent advances and
additional notes
* Annotations by the translators provide insights into the nature of
science and mathematics in the late 19th century
* Each volume interweaves theory and applications
The first volume established the general kinematic and kinetic foundations of the theory. Volume II discusses the motion of the symmetric top with a fixed support point, under the influence of gravity, in all its details. was originally presented by Felix Klein as an 1895 lecture at Göttingen University that was broadened in scope and clarified as a result of collaboration with Arnold Sommerfeld.
Graduate students and researchers interested in theoretical and applied mechanics will find this a thorough and insightful account.
