Many students of Physics or Engineering, who from want either of
mathematical aptitude, or of sufficient training in the methods of
analytical solid geometry, are unable to follow the works of
mathematical writers on Eigid Dynamics, must have felt disappointed,
after mastering so much of the Dynamics of a Particle as is given in
the excellent and widely-used text-books of Loney, or Garnett, or Lock,
to find that they have been obliged, after all, to stop short of the
point at which their knowledge could be of appreciable practical use to
them, and that the explanation of any of the phenomena exhibited by
rotating or oscillating rigid bodies, so interesting and obviously
important, was still beyond their reach.
