Some possible enhancements to the book

[moorepants]

• Add in conceptual questions and mini problems to the lecture notes
• Add more mini-exercises after sections
• Introduce more problems that show off notable dynamics phenomena (reversals, stability, gyroscope, etc.)
• A negative aspect of integrating code into a book is that the full solutions are already coded for the student and it enables a copy/paste style of work to solve the homeworks, thus limited learning.
• Show them how to use sympy.physics.mechanics more at the end, we only use physics.vector in the book.

I am always intrigued by gyroscopic effects, they often are counter intuitive. For example, it is known that the rotation of a rigid body around its axis of smallest inertia is unstable. I simulated this, a really simple program, and it did show this effect.

Would it make sense to introduce sympy.physics.mechanics at the end of your lecture, or maybe in an appendix?
It is a fascinating library, based on the topic of your lecture.

Yes for sure. I'll add it to the list.
