授業の目的 【英語】 Goals of the Course | | This is the first of two courses in analytical mechanics. Analytical mechanics abstracts from Newtonian mechanics and generalizes it to a versatile framework that can be applied to various areas of physics, such as quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and relativity. After a survey of elementary principles, we discuss the core concepts of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, with special emphasis on symmetry principles, followed by some explicit examples. |
