Teaching monographs

Uncommon Analytical Dynamics (UAD)  .  This will cover some uncommon topics in analytical dynamics, including direct linearization; a proper view of rotational motion; analytical dynamics of variable-mass systems; Appell equations and Hamilton’s principle for variable-mass systems; the Nielsen, Tsenov, and other higher order forms for variable-mass systems; the Fundamental Invariant Identity, Noether’s Identity, and Noether’s Theorem for constant-mass and variable-mass systems; motion constants, first integrals, and kinematic perspectives; analytical dynamics for over-parameterized descriptions; and constraint embedding.  Expected soon.

N-Dimensional Dynamics (NDD)  .  This will cover the analytical dynamics forms and expressions the describe the motion of bodies in higher-dimensional spaces.  Expected soon.
