= Lagrange, Euler, and Kovalevskaya tops
{wiki=Lagrange,_Euler,_and_Kovalevskaya_tops}
The terms Lagrange top, Euler top, and Kovalevskaya top refer to specific types of rigid body dynamics problems in classical mechanics, particularly in the study of the motion of spinning tops. Each of these tops represents different cases of motion, characterized by their initial conditions, constraints, and governing equations. \#\#\# 1. Lagrange Top: The Lagrange top is a system characterized by a symmetric top that can move freely about a fixed point (like an axis).
