Review

"Based on a fresh concept of the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse of a matrix, this textbook gives a non-traditional description of only one, but a very important, topic of analytical dynamics, namely, the derivation of the equations of motion of a constrained discrete mechanical system from the differential Gauss principle. The clear exposition with many interesting detailed examples and suggestions for further reading makes this book useful for 'the average college senior in science and engineering' as well as for any specialist in mechanics." A. Sumbatov, Mathematical Reviews, 98j

Book Description

Constrained motion is of paramount importance in the design and analysis of mechanical systems and central to the study of analytical dynamics. This book offers a fresh approach to the subject. Eminently readable, it is written as an introduction, with an emphasis on fundamental concepts in mechanics.
