Excerpt from The Fundamental Equations of Dynamics and Its Main Coordinate Systems Vectorially Treated: Illustrated From Rigid Dynamics
The day has clearly passed when any comprehensive presentation of all dynamics could be compressed and unified within the compass of one moderate volume of homogeneous plan. The established connections of dynamical reasoning with other fields in physics are of increasing number and closeness, as furnishing for them strongly rooted sequences in their interpretative trains of thought and linking together what would else have continued to stand separate. And that relation has reacted powerfully in modern times upon dynamics itself, perpetually enriching its substance, yet at the same time introducing within it certain sharpening differences that are stamped upon it by the type of use for which preparation is being made. These in fact modify superficially the modes of expression and their tone, and shift their own emphasis through a range that brings about what is in effect a subdivision of territory and an acknowledgment of practically diverse interests. It is in response to the situation which has been thus unfolding, and in conformity with its drift toward manifold adaptations, that special treatises have been rendered available whose measure of unquestioned excellence and authority would make superfluous an attempt to replace any such unit with a marked improvement upon it.
But undoubtedly these differentiations founded in divergencies and inevitably expressing them in some degree, are entailing a corresponding need and demand to offset them with a broadening survey of the common foundation and of the common stock of resources. And with that end in view another treatment of dynamics finds a place for itself and holds it for special service.
