Book Description
Beginning with the Lagrangian version of Analytical Mechanics, this advanced undergraduate Analytical Mechanics (PDF) textbook then moves on to the Hamiltonian formulation and the canonical equations; restrictions are added through the use of Lagrange multipliers. The remainder of the text will continue to center on Hamilton's Principle and the canonical equations as its foundation.
Small oscillations, motion in electric and magnetic fields, and the dynamics of stiff bodies are some of the topics that are taken into consideration for applications. In order to make the move into the analysis of complex and chaotic systems as seamless and rational as possible, the Hamilton-Jacobi method was developed with a specific focus on the canonical transformation. In conclusion, the subject of relativistic mechanics and the demand for Lorentz invariance are discussed in depth in the accompanying textbook.
The e-book is enhanced with a summary of the history of mechanics, which focuses on the significance of the contributions made by Euler, Lagrange, Hamilton, and Jacobi.
The study of Analytical Mechanics is extraordinarily clear and succinct, and it is supported by a large number of exercises that come with solutions.
