Mathematical Aspects of Classical and Celestial Mechanics

by Vladimir I. Arnold

Book Overview

This work describes the fundamental principles, problems, and methods of classical mechanics. The approach of the authors stresses the working apparatus of classical mechanics, rather than its physical foundations or applications. The book is significantly expanded compared to the previous edition. The authors have added two chapters on the variational principles and methods of classical mechanics as well as on tensor invariants of equations of...
