The Theory of the Top Volume III: Perturbations. Astronomical and Geophysical Applications

Felix Klein

The Theory of the Top was originally presented by Felix Klein as an 1895 lecture at Göttingen University that was broadened in scope and clarified as a result of collaboration with Arnold Sommerfeld. The Theory of the Top: Volume III. Perturbations: Astronomical and Geophysical Applications is the third installment in a series of four self-contained English translations that provide insights into kinetic theory and kinematics.

Praise for this book

From the reviews:

"This third volume is devoted to the investigation of the motion of a symmetric top and is unique in that it complements the results of the previous volumes, which were of a theoretical nature, by results that are of great interest in the investigation of applied aspects of the motion of symmetric bodies. ... is of great value to specialists in analytical mechanics." (Gennady Victorovich Gorr, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2013)
