But I'm sure others in the mechanics community cut their teeth on Goldstein. Ah how those (we) Ph106 students used to suffer at old Caltech! A great place to learn mechanics in a truly coordinate dependent notation! | |

There one finds what H.G. calls the "Jabberwockian statement", "The polhode rolls without slipping on the herpolhode lying in the invariable plane." | |
