Elements of Classical Point Mechanics: Volume III: The Fundamental Theorem of Classical Mechanics and Other Selected Topics

This book is the Volume III of a three-volume series on classical mechanical point-particle systems. It covers the Fundamental Theorem of Classical Mechanics and other selected topics.Volume I of the series provides a detailed introduction to the Dirac’s theory of constraints. Volume II deals mostly with 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 series accessible to higher-level undergraduate and graduate students of theoretical physics and mathematics.
