Elements of Classical Point Mechanics: Volume I: Dirac's Theory of Constraints

By Piotr Hebda

Book Overview

This book is the first of a three-volume series on classical mechanical point-particle systems. It covers Dirac's theory of constraints, and it is the most self-contained and in-detail presentation of this topic currently available.

Volume II deals mostly with a problem of creating Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms for variety of mechanical systems. Volume III covers the Fundamental Theorem of Classical Mechanics and a problem of creating Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms for variety of mechanical systems.

Only introductory knowledge of basic classical mechanics is assumed from the reader, making the book accessible to higher-level undergraduate and graduate students of theoretical physics and mathematics.
