Volume IV.�Technical Applications of the Theory of the Top is the�fourth�and final volume in�a series of self-contained English translations of the classic and definitive treatment of rigid body motion. Key features: Complete and unabridged presentation with recent advances and additional notes; Annotations by the translators provide insights into the nature of science and mathematics in the late 19th century; Each volume interweaves theory and applications. The Theory of the Top was originally presented by Felix Klein as an 1895 lecture at G�ttingen University that was broadened in scope and clarified as a result of collaboration with Arnold Sommerfeld.� Graduate students and researchers interested in theoretical and applied mechanics will find this series of books a thorough and insightful account. �Other volumes in the series include�Introduction to the Kinematics and Kinetics of the Top, Development of the Theory in the Case of the Heavy Symmetric Top, and Perturbations.� Astronomical and Geophysical Applications UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-8176-4829-9 ER -
