Graduate Non holonomic constraints in classical mechanics textbook

Click For Summary
To learn about non-holonomic constraints in Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, consider exploring Greenwood's "Classical Dynamics" and "Advanced Dynamics." Additionally, the work by Neimark and Fufaev titled "Dynamics of Nonholonomic Systems" is recommended for a deeper understanding. Many users express concerns regarding the accuracy of Goldstein's 3rd edition on this topic. The suggested resources align well with the mathematical level presented in Goldstein. Engaging with these texts will enhance comprehension of non-holonomic systems in classical mechanics.

I want to learn about the non holonomic case in lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. I've seen that many people say that Goldstein 3rd ed is wrong there.
Where should I go to learn it.
My mathematics level is at the level Goldstein uses.
Please help

Thread 'Reference frames, center of rotation, etc'

Topic about reference frames, center of rotation, postion of origin etc Comoving ref. frame is frame that is attached to moving object, does that mean, in that frame translation and rotation of object is zero, because origin and axes(x,y,z) are fixed to object? Is it same if you place origin of frame at object center of mass or at object tail? What type of comoving frame exist? What is lab frame? If we talk about center of rotation do we always need to specified from what frame we observe?
