Hi folks,
I am interested in the historical original documents.
Newtonian mechanics could be learned from--> Principia and Euler's Mechanica
Lagrangian mechanics--> Analytical Mechanics
Poisson--> I found his teatrise on mechanics where I expect to find out his "brackets", but I have not yet read the books.
Hamiltonian mechanics--> I have found some papers "On a general method in dynamics"But I have no idea about the original papers of the "Hamilton Jacobi" formulation of mechanics. Is there anywhere an english version of Jacobi's work on this topic?
Is there any book following the historical work from Jacobi?
Thanks
