M. A.
Analytical Mechanics.—This course comprises the work
in Mechanics for the M. A. degree. Free use is made of the
methods of the Infinitesimal Calculus, and only suitably-prepared
students will be admitted to it. The subjects
studied are the Dynamics of a Particle, Analytical Statics,
and the Dynamics of a Rigid Body.
Text-Books.—Williamson's Treatise on Dynamics; Tait and Steele's
Dynamics of a Particle; Todhunter's Analytical Statics; Pirie's Rigid
Dynamics. For reference and parallel reading, Minchin's Statics; Routh's
Rigid Dynamics, and Routh's Analytical Statics.
