A Non holonomic constraints in classical mechanics textbook

AI Thread 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 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Off resonance driving of a MW/RF cavity'

Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
