Sommario/riassunto

Advanced dynamics forms the foundation of physical science and is recognized as an important subject of study for all engineering students and professionals in competitive university programmes and throughout the industry. This textbook explains the fundamental laws of motion and goes on to cover topics including gyroscopic effect, missile trajectories, interplanetary mission, multistage rockets and use of numerical methods. In addition, theories such as the rotation operator are developed.
