Phys-507
Course description: An advanced course in “Classical Mechanics”. Topics discussed include variational principles, Lagrange equations, the rigid body equations of motion, Hamilton’s equations, canonical transformations, Hamilton-Jacobi theory, small oscillations and normal coordinates, and continuous systems and fields.
Syllabus: click here Homeworks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Interaction: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
Tips in dealing with questions Notes on Variational Calculus (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7); the last page should be useful to solve question-3 in homework-4. The reference by Fox should also prove beneficial.
