Introduction to Mechanics and Symmetry : A Basic Exposition of Classical Mechanical Systems (Texts in Applied Mathematics) (2ND)

In recent times, the interest in mechanics, and in symmetry techniques in particular, has accelerated because of developments in dynamical systems, the use of geometric methods and new applications to integrable and chaotic systems, control systems, stability and bifurcation, and the study of specific rigid, fluid, plasma and elastic systems.
