A Treatise on the Analytical Dynamics of Particles and Rigid Bodies: With an Introduction to the Problem of Three Bodies (1917) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781498137331)

""A Treatise On The Analytical Dynamics Of Particles And Rigid Bodies: With An Introduction To The Problem Of Three Bodies"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of analytical dynamics. Written by E.T. Whittaker and first published in 1917, this book covers the fundamental concepts of mechanics, including kinematics, force, momentum, and energy. The text explores the dynamics of both particles and rigid bodies, providing detailed explanations of the equations of motion and their solutions. The book also includes an introduction to the problem of three bodies, which is a classic problem in celestial mechanics. This problem involves the motion of three celestial bodies under the influence of their mutual gravitational attraction and is notoriously difficult to solve. Whittaker's treatment of this problem is clear and concise, making it accessible to readers with a basic understanding of calculus and mechanics. Overall, ""A Treatise On The Analytical Dynamics Of Particles And Rigid Bodies"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the principles of mechanics and their applications in physics and engineering. It is a classic work that has stood the test of time and remains relevant to this day.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1917 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
