• Sommario/riassunto: Is the solar system stable? Is there a unifying 'economy' principle in mechanics? How can a pointmass be described as a 'wave'? This book offers students an understanding of the relevant results of the theory of analytical mechanics, including plenty of examples, exercises, and solved problems.
