Dynamics, Science / Mechanics / Dynamics / General
This book is like a better written update of Whittaker's classic book. Like Whittaker, Pars presents most of his material from a differential rather than variational point of view, which I consider an advantage. The treatise is not up to date on the latest developments with chaos theory but has a wealth of other material presented in great detail. Pars' book stands out from the numerous other books on dynamics.
