Geometry Of Nonholonomically Constrained Systems

Explore the intricate world of nonholonomically constrained systems with Geometry Of Nonholonomically Constrained Systems by Richard H. Cushman. Published by World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd in 2009, this comprehensive hardback edition spans 424 pages, offering a modern differential geometric perspective on linearly nonholonomically constrained systems.

This insightful book delves into the concept of symmetry within these complex systems and presents a general theory for reducing symmetry through the innovative use of differential space and the Poisson bracket structure of smooth function algebra. Whether you're a student, researcher, or professional in the field of differential geometry, this title is an essential addition to your library, providing valuable insights into the rigidity and dynamics of nonholonomic systems.
