Offers a modern differential geometric treatment of linearly nonholonomically constrained systems. This title discusses what is meant by symmetry of such a system and gives a general theory of how to reduce such a symmetry using the concept of a differential space and the Poisson bracket structure of its algebra of smooth functions.
