Schaum's Outline of Theory and Problems of Lagrangian Dynamics

by Dare A. Wells

The book clearly and concisely explains the basic principles of Lagrangian dynamicsand provides training in the actual physical and mathematical techniques of applying Lagrange's equations, laying the foundation for a later study of topics that bridge the gap between classical and quantum physics, engineering, chemistry and applied mathematics, and for practicing scientists and engineers.

Oldschool, but difficult problems.

Very importan topic in physics

My comments apply to the edition from the 1980's, which was used as a supplementary textbook for a graduate level dynamics class.

The book is poorly organized. The explanations are below the standard of other Schaum's outlines. The problems weren't helpful as I tried to review the material preparing for our Master's final.
