Description for Introduction To Langrangian Mechanics
Paperback. Offers a historical perspective on the Lagrangian method by presenting Fermat's Principle of Least Time as well as the principles of Maupertuis, Jacobi, and d'Alembert that preceded Hamilton's formulation of the Principle of Least Action, from which the Euler-Lagrange equations of motion are derived. Num Pages: 276 pages, black & white illustrations, black & white line drawings, black & white tables, figures. BIC Classification: PHD. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 160 x 228 x 15. Weight in Grams: 404.
An Introduction to Lagrangian Mechanics begins with a proper historical perspective on the Lagrangian method by presenting Fermat's Principle of Least Time (as an introduction to the Calculus of Variations) as well as the principles of Maupertuis, Jacobi, and d'Alembert that preceded Hamilton's formulation of the Principle of Least Action, from which the Euler-Lagrange equations of motion are derived. Other additional topics not traditionally presented in undergraduate textbooks include the treatment of constraint forces in Lagrangian Mechanics; Routh's procedure for Lagrangian systems with symmetries; the art of numerical analysis for physical systems; variational formulations for several continuous Lagrangian systems; an ...
