Consider a non-holonomic dynamical system specified by the N coordinates qi, and kinetic energy defined by
where amn are functions of qi and the dot denotes differentiation with respect to the time t.
page 176 note 1 The summation convention is used, the Roman indices having the range 1 to N.
page 176 note 2 Greek indices have the range 1 to M and have been enclosed in a bracket to indicate that they possess no tensorial property.
page 176 note 3 δαβ = 0 if α ≠ β; δαβ = 1 if α = β.
