From the reviews: "This book is the first volume of a treatise on the classical theory of mechanical systems. … The book is useful at the graduate level in physics and mechanical engineering, as well as in mathematics. … The mathematical aspects are carefully presented. The text provides a detailed analysis of some generic examples, which will be enough to show how the theory is applied, at least for experienced readers. The subjects covered by the text are divided into 10 large chapters." (José Fernández-Núñez, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 j)
