Chapter Chapter 2 in Modern Analytic Mechanics, 1999, pp 33-47 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract While it is in principle possible to solve any mechanical problem by integration of the equations d p/dt = F for each constituent of the system, in many cases this task can be quite complicated. The use of Cartesian coordinates can also be cumbersome, as can be taking into account the reaction forces of objects limiting the motion of the dynamical systems, like planes or strings introducing constraints on the motion.
