Description: V. 1. The lecture series on The Theory of the Top was originally given as a dedication to Göttingen University by Felix Klein in 1895, but has since found broader appeal. This text is one in a series of self-contained English translations that provide insights into kinetic theory and kinematics.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [263]-274) and index.
