An algebraic method of obtaining of symplectic coordinates in a rigid   body dynamics
  An algebraic procedure of getting of canonical variables in a rigid body dynamics is presented. The method is based on using a structure of an algebra of Lie-Poisson brackets with which a Hamiltonian dynamics is set. In a particular case of a problem of a top in a homogeneous gravitation field the method leads to well-known Andoyer-Deprit variables. Earlier, the method of getting of them was based on geometric approach.
