Intro.to Mechanics+symmetry

Symmetry has always played an important role in mechanics, from fundamental formulations of basic principles to concrete applications. The theme of the book is to develop the basic theory & applications of mechanics with an emphasis on the role of symmetry. In recent times, the interest in mechanics, & in symmetry techniques in particular, has accelerated because of developments in dynamical systems, the use of geometric methods & new applications to integrable & chaotic systems, control systems, stability & bifurcation, & the study of specific rigid, fluid, plasma & elastic systems.Marsden, Jerrold E. is the author of 'Intro.to Mechanics+symmetry' with ISBN 9780387943473 and ISBN 0387943471.
