The author presents an approximation method for the investigation of the stability of rapidly rotating equilibrium configurations. A familiar method for the calculation of equilibrium configurations is generalized to perturbations with large wavelengths. The linearized equations of marginally stable axisymmetric perturbations are approximated by an integrodifferential equation. The procedure is applied to the case of an isothermal equilibrium configuration with constant rotational velocity. The integrodifferential equation reduces to a transcendental equation. The author gives the solutions of this equation and verifies the approximations. The stability of the configurations is discussed. The investigations also include the case of infinitely thin discs.
