«The Mathematical Theory of the Top» is Felix Klein's mathematics treatise, published by CreateSpace in paperback (86 pages, in English).
The book studies the motion of the top as a central example of rigid-body dynamics, combining geometry, analysis, and the theory of functions of a complex variable. Klein presents the analytical representation of the rotation of a body with a fixed point and shows the usefulness of pure mathematics for problems in mechanics, physics, and astronomy.
The text collects the lectures given by Felix Klein at the sesquicentennial of Princeton University. This edition is from 2015.
The author hopes that these lectures will interest mathematicians, physicists, astronomers, and engineers.
