Analytical Mechanics - Fasano, Antonio (Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita di Firenze) a Marmi, Stefano (Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa)

Is the solar system stable? Is there a unifying 'economy' principle in mechanics? How can a point mass be described as a 'wave'? This book offers students an understanding of the most relevant and far reaching results of the theory of Analytical Mechanics, including plenty of examples, exercises, and solved problems.
