An Introduction To The Use Of Generalized Coordinates In Mechanics And Physics (1916)

""An Introduction To The Use Of Generalized Coordinates In Mechanics And Physics"" is a book written by William Elwood Byerly, first published in 1916. The book explores the concept of generalized coordinates in mechanics and physics, which refers to a mathematical technique used to describe the motion and properties of physical systems. Byerly explains how the use of generalized coordinates can simplify the analysis of complex systems, making it easier to understand and predict their behavior. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the principles of mechanics, the theory of relativity, and the use of Lagrange's equations. It also includes numerous examples and problems to help readers apply the concepts discussed in the book. Overall, ""An Introduction To The Use Of Generalized Coordinates In Mechanics And Physics"" is a valuable resource for students and professionals in the fields of physics, engineering, and mathematics who are interested in learning more about this important mathematical technique.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
