Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics (Graduate Texts in Mathematics, Vol. 60) (2nd Edition) by K. Vogtmann (Translator), A. Weinstein (Translator), V. I. Arnold, Vladimir I. Arnol'd Hardcover, 520 Pages, Published 1997 ISBN-10: 0-387-96890-3 / 0387968903 ISBN-13: 978-0-387-96890-2 / 9780387968902 This book constructs the mathematical apparatus of classical mechanics from the beginning, examining basic problems in dynamics like the theory of oscillations and the Hamiltonian formalism. The author emphasizes geometrical considerations and includes phase spaces and flows, vector fields, and Lie |
