Review text

This well written and well structured book is designed to give sound foundations of advanced dynamics for students of engineering sciences. The level is such that the book should be suitable for undergraduate and first-year graduate students. Besides the material typical of the books of this profile, the volume contains a detailed presentation of Lagrangian, Hamiltonian and Hamilton-Jacobi mechanics including the theory of canonical transformations - the material which is not frequently exposed in university textbooks. The material is divided into twelve chapters with the headings: 1. Introductory concepts in dynamics; 2. Concepts in analytical dynamics; 3. Energy and momentum; 4. Frames of reference; 5. Orbital motion; 6. Lagrange's equations; 7. Moments and products of inertia; 8. Dynamics of rigid bodies; 9. Variational principles; 10. Canonical transformations and Hamilton-Jacobi theory; 11. Vibration of dynamic systems; 12. Dynamic response by numerical methods. The exercises, problems and references are plentiful, and the style is clear and transparent.
