Intended as a text for postgraduate students of
mathematics, this compact and well-organized book
offers insights into the principles of classical
mechanics and, in particular, deals with the problems
of dynamical systems.
Divided into seven chapters, the text begins with a
discussion on some elementary results of statics and
dynamics. It then goes on to analyze at length the
Hamiltonian formulation along with the Poisson
bracket, the variational principle (taking Euler’s
equation of calculus of variation as the base), and
different forms of the variational principle. Finally,
the text explains the integral invariants, canonical
transformations, and the Hamilton–Jacobi theory.ISBN : 9788120331266
