Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics is the continuation of Newton's classical physics into new formalisms, each highlighting novel aspects of mechanics that gradually build in complexity to form the basis for almost all of theoretical physics. Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics also acts as a gateway to more abstract concepts routed in differential geometry and field theories and can be used to introduce these subject areas to newcomers. Journeying in a self-contained manner from the very basics, through the fundamentals and onwards to the cutting edge of the subject, along the way the reader is supported by all the necessary background mathematics, fully worked examples, thoughtful and vibrant illustrations as well as an informal narrative and numerous fresh, modern and inter-disciplinary applications. The book contains some unusual topics for a classical mechanics textbook. Most notable examples include the 'classical wavefunction', Koopman-von Neumann theory, classical density functional theories, the 'vakonomic' variational principle for non-holonomic constraints, the Gibbs-Appell equations, classical path integrals, Nambu brackets and the full framing of mechanics in the language of differential geometry."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Mechanics, Analytic. 650 0 $a Hamiltonian systems. 650 0 $a Lagrangian functions. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220602021826.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6528734426B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
