Book Overview
The book clearly and concisely explains the basic principles of Lagrangian dynamicsand provides training in the actual physical and mathematical techniques of applying Lagrange's equations, laying the foundation for a later study of topics that bridge the gap between classical and quantum physics, engineering, chemistry and applied mathematics, and for practicing scientists and engineers.

Lagrangian Dynamics made easy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is great. It is not required for any course (at my school), but I got it to see about all the fuss I'd heard from all the grad students on here! It is a very accesible book. I haven't completed my (undergrad) mechanics course yet and it is just gravy!!! I would recommend this to any serious physics student, especially to get a leg up on the material. It is incredibly clear.
Lagrangian Dynamics

it`s a useful book for a beginner on Theoretical Mechanics, a lot of examples solved and exercises. It helps to understand some more complex concepts on mechanics and how a reformulation on that subject (from newton to lagrange) simplify calculations. the presentation it`s so clear and easy to follow. The kind of a book that you can carry and read everywhere
The Very Best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is the best of Schaum's Outlines. Not only is the treatment of variational mechanics complete, with exposition on every major aspect of the derivation and solution dynamical equations, it does so while exceeding all junior-level texts on analytical mechanics. Its treatment of dissipation functions in chapter six, moreover, is better than the available graduate textbooks on the subject. This is the one workbook in the series that you must own for learning and for future reference.
The best on Lagrangian Mechanics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
If you would like to understand and know who to use Lagrange equation, look no further. This book provides both theory and practical application to Lagrange equation. The material converge is excellent and complete. The book is rich in examples and solved problem. It is a graduate level book but also very accessible to people with good background in Dynamics. I often refer to it when solving dynamic modeling of systems.
This is one of the best Schaum's outlines.

This is a very detailed outline on Lagrangian mechanics. Many of the Schaum's series outlines deal only with some of the simplest problems, leaving the more diffucult problems to the reader, or to texts. Here, the author dedicates two chapters to background material, and covers everything from the most basic to some quite advanced problems in the remaining sixteen chapters. A very good outline, and a must for those who love to see good examples when learning a subject.
