Reviews
From the reviews:
“The present one deals with analytical mechanics. … The presentation of material is carefully thought out and combines the exactness, completeness and simplicity that helps in understanding of the material. A particular impression makes the rich bibliography and the completeness of author’s scope. This book is one of the best modern courses on analytical mechanics … . Undoubtedly, this course will be useful for scientists, engineers, teachers and students.” (Alexander Mikhailovich Kovalev, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1177, 2010)Authors and Affiliations
