The name Analytical Dynamics is given to that branch of knowledge in which the motions of material bodies, considered as due to the mutual interactions of the bodies, are discussed by the aid of mathematical analysis. There are few books on mathematical mechanics as famous as this, a work that forms a comprehensive account of all the classical results of analytical dynamics

A Treatise on the Analytical Dynamics of Particles and Rigid Bodies
Thursday, November 5th, 2009Computational Thermodynamics
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009The book develops a new computational foundation of thermodynamics based on deterministic finite precision computation without resort to statistics. In particular a new 2nd Law without the concept of entropy is proved to be a consequence of the 1st Law and finite precision computation.

Computational Turbulent Incompressible Flow
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009In this book we address mathematical modeling of turbulent fluid flow, and its many mysteries that have haunted scientist over the centuries; such as the dAlembert mystery of drag in an inviscid flow, the Sommerfeld mystery of transition to turbulence in shear flow, and the Loschmidt mystery of violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Cavitation and Bubble Dynamics
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Description:
This book provides a coherent and unified treatment of the fundamental physical processes involved in bubble dynamics and the phenomenon of cavitation. Of interest to a wide range of mechanical engineers, the study of cavitation and bubbly flows is applicable to topics ranging from valve damage in hydroelectric equipment, ship propellers, and internal combustion engines to the performance of turbines and pumps of all sizes. Well-written and up-to-date, the book will prove indispensable to engineers and students needing a reference detailing the problems of cavitation and bubbly flow.

Analytical Classical Dynamics: An intermediate level course
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009Description:
A complete set of lecture notes for an upper-division classical dynamics course. The course concentrates on those aspects of classical dynamics which can be studied analytically. Topics covered include oscillations, Keplerian orbits, two-body scattering, rotating frames of reference, rotation of rigid bodies in three dimensions, Lagrangian mechanics, Hamiltonian mechanics, and coupled oscillations.

Dynamics of Machines
Sunday, September 13th, 2009Description:
The purpose of this text is to provide the students with the theoretical background and engineering applications of the two dimensional mechanics of the rigid body. It is divided into three chapters: Dynamic of particles; Plane dynamics of a rigid body; Dynamic Analysis of Plane Mechanisms.
Topics in dynamics I: Flows
Thursday, September 10th, 2009Description:
These are the lecture notes for the first term of a course on differential equations, given in Fine Hall the autumn of 1968. The text covers differential calculus, Picard’s method, the local structure of vector fields, sums and Lie products of vector fields, self-adjoint operators on Hilbert space, commutative multiplicity theory, extensions of Hermitean operators, sums and Lie products of self-adjoint operators.
