An elementary treatment of the theory of spinning tops and gyroscopic motion
Harold Crabtree
The object of this book is to bring within the range of the abler Mathematicians at our Public Schools and of First Year undergraduates at the Universities, a subject which has hitherto been considered too difficult for any but the more advanced students in Mathematics, while even they have in many cases failed to derive more pleasure from the study of spinning tops than is contained in submitting the problem to the action of a complicated piece of Mathematical machinery which automatically, though unintelligently, turns out the correct result.
