This text, aimed at advanced undergraduates and graduate students in Physics and/or Engineering, treats Newtonian 3-D rigid-body dynamics and analytical mechanics. Through consistent employment of linear algebra--itself reviewed rigorously, yet easily visualized, in the first third of the book, from vector spaces through [Jordan] normal forms--the inertia matrix can be found through a rotation from tabulated moments of inertia. This approach allows uniform treatment of both single bodies arbitrary axes) and machines. Analytical dynamics--both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations--are developed to admit non-conservative forces. Throughout, the importance of integrals is emphasized.
