Description
A rigorous and wide-ranging introduction to the mathematical foundations of classical mechanics, this volume develops the subject through the complementary perspectives of geometry, analysis, and dynamical systems. It explores core ideas including configuration spaces, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, symmetries, conservation laws, and stability, while connecting them to the deeper structures underlying physical motion. Known for its sophisticated yet illuminating treatment, the book serves as both a substantial reference for researchers and a challenging text for advanced students of mathematics, physics, and engineering.
