Kinematics and dynamics of systems of particles. Linear and angular momenta. Moving frames of reference. Moments of inertia. Kinematics and dynamics of rigid body motion. Virtual work. Lagrange's equations of motion. Hamilton's principle. Canonical equations. Conservation laws. Lagrange and Poisson bracket relations. Applications to problems in mechanics are stressed throughout. Formerly AM 395

As printed in the 1989–90 to 1993–94 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
