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.
