This classic book is a encylopaedic and comprehensive account of the classical theory of analytical dynamics. The treatment is rigorous yet readable, starting from first principles with kinematics before moving to equations of motion and specific and explicit methods for solving them, with chapters devoted to particle dyanmics, rigid bodies, vibration, and dissipative systems. Hamilton's principle is introduced and then applied to dynamical systems, including three-body systems and celestial mechanics. Very many examples and exercisies are supplied throughout.
Originally published in 1907, this book provides a concise account regarding the theory of optical instruments. The text was written with the aim of leading 'directly from the first elements of Optics to those parts of the subject which are of greatest importance to workers with optical instruments'.
