Springer eBooks -- The Theory of the Top. Volume IV Technical Applications of the Theory of the Top

__The Theory of the Top. Volume IV.__ __Technical Applications of the Theory of the Top__ is the fourth and final volume in a series of self-contained English translations of the classic and definitive treatment of rigid body motion. Key features: \* Complete and unabridged presentation with recent advances and additional notes; \* Annotations by the translators provide insights into the nature of science and mathematics in the late 19th century; \* Each volume interweaves theory and applications. __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. Graduate students and researchers interested in theoretical and applied mechanics will find this series of books a thorough and insightful account. Other volumes in the series include __Introduction to the Kinematics and Kinetics of the Top__, __Development of the Theory in the Case of the Heavy Symmetric Top__, and __Perturbations. Astronomical and Geophysical Applications__. The Theory of the Top. Volume IV.
