Description for Analytical Mechanics
Paperback. Series: Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 364 pages, 58 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHU; TGMD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 19. Weight in Grams: 563.
This advanced undergraduate textbook begins with the Lagrangian formulation of Analytical Mechanics and then passes directly to the Hamiltonian formulation and the canonical equations, with constraints incorporated through Lagrange multipliers. Hamilton's Principle and the canonical equations remain the basis of the remainder of the text. Topics considered for applications include small oscillations, motion in electric and magnetic fields, and rigid body dynamics. The Hamilton-Jacobi approach is developed with special attention to the canonical transformation in order to provide a smooth and logical transition into the study of complex and chaotic systems. Finally the text has a careful ... Read more
