Reviews
The Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society said, "The [book] under review [...] written by a distinguished mathematician [...is one of] the first textbooks [to] successfully to present to students of mathematics and physics, [sic] classical mechanics in a modern setting."[2]
A book review in the journal Celestial Mechanics said, "In summary, the author has succeeded in producing a mathematical synthesis of the science of dynamics. The book is well presented and beautifully translated [...] Arnold's book is pure poetry; one does not simply read it, one enjoys it."[3]
