Description based upon print version of record. The Theory of the Top Volume II; Contents; Advertisement of Volume II of the Theory of the Top; Volume II Development of the Theory in the Case of the Heavy Symmetric Top; Chapter IV. The general motion of the heavy symmetric top. Introduction to elliptic integrals.; Chapter V. On special forms of motion of the heavy symmetric top, particularly pseudoregular precession, and on the stability of motion.; Chapter VI. Representation of the motion of the top by elliptic functions.; Appendix to Chapter VI.192; Addenda and Supplements.196 To Chap. V.; Translators' Notes.; References.; Index; &Quot;The Theory of the Top: Volume II". "Development of a Theory of the Heavy Symmetric Top" is the second installment of a series of four self-contained English translations of the classic and definitive treatment of rigid body motion. This is a 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 lectur |
