Abstract
In this chapter we develop and summarize some basic concepts in the geometric mechanics of holonomic systems (see Chapter 1), which provide background for parts of the rest of this book. Readers well versed in this material may omit part or all of it. Parts of the rest of the book can be read without this material, so the reader can return to it as the need arises.
