Chapter Chapter 12 in Solving Problems in Scientific Computing Using Maple and MATLAB®, 1997, pp 173-182 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we will study the motion of a spinning top—the well known children’s toy. From the physical point of view we can represent it as a symmetric rigid rotor in a homogeneous gravitational field. Let O be the point at the tip of the top.
