The object of this book is to bring within the range of the abler Mathematicians at our Public Schools and of First Year undergraduates at the Universities, a subject which has hitherto been considered too difficult for any but the more advanced students in Mathematics, while even they have in many

We study the asymptotic behaviour of a spinning top whose shape is spherical, while its mass distribution has axial symmetry only and which is subject to sliding friction on the plane of support (so-called tippe top). By a suitable choice of variables in the equations of motion we construct explicit
