Product Information
Geometric Mechanics and Symmetry is a friendly and fast-paced introduction to the geometric approach to classical mechanics, suitable for a one- or two- semester course for beginning graduate students or advanced undergraduates. It fills a gap between traditional classical mechanics texts and advanced modern mathematical treatments of the subject.The modern geometric approach illuminates and unifies many seemingly disparate mechanical problems from several areas of science and engineering. In particular, the book concentrates on the similarities between finite-dimensional rigid body motion and infinite-dimensional systems such as fluid flow. The illustrations and examples, together with a large number of exercises, both solved and unsolved, make the book particularly useful.Product Identifiers
