Abstract

It is shown that the three nonlinear dynamic Euler ordinary differential equations (ODEs), concerning the motion of a rigid body free to rotate about a fixed point, are reduced, by means of a subsidiary function which is to be determined, to three Abel equations of the second kind of the normal form. Based on a recently developed mathematical construction concerning exact analytic solutions of the Abel nonlinear ODEs of the second kind, we perform a new mathematical solution for the classical dynamic Euler nonlinear ODEs.
