Emphasis on more classical Newtonian treatment (favored by Engineers) of rigid bodies, and more modern in greater reliance on Linear Algebra to get inertia matrix and deal with machines

Develops Analytical Dynamics to allow the introduction of friction

Intermediate Dynamics Reviews

From the reviews:

Howland ( Univ. Of Notre Dame) has prepared a mathematical treatment of mechanics/dynamics in three dimensions with an emphasis on linear-algebraic details. The book is well written, showing a real appreciation for the underlying mathematics. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. (J. D. Fehribach, Choice, Vol. 43 (10), June, 2006)
