Development of a Theory of the Heavy Symmetric Top</em>is the second installment of a series of four self-contained English translations of the classic and definitive treatment of rigid body motion.</p><p>Key features:</p><p>* Complete and unabridged presentation with recent advances and additional notes</p><p>* Annotations by the translators provide insights into the nature of science and mathematics in the late 19th century</p><p>* Each volume interweaves theory and applications</p><p><em>The Theory of the Top</em>was originally presented by Felix Klein as an 1895 lecture at G&#246;ttingen University that was broadened in scope and clarified as a result of collaboration with Arnold Sommerfeld. Graduate students and researchers interested in theoretical and applied mechanics will find this a thorough and insightful account. Other volumes in this series include<em>Introduction to the Kinematics and Kinetics of the Top, Perturbations: Astronomical and Geophysical Applications,</em>and<em>Technical Applications of the Theory of the Top.</em></p>
