Abstract

Classical Mechanics

- Used for determining motion of objects

- Three Main Formulations of Classical Mechanics

  • Newtonian Mechanics: Revolves around Newton’s 2nd Law (F = ma)
  • Lagrangian Mechanics: Revolves around the Lagrangian
  • Hamiltonian Mechanics: Revolves around the Hamiltonian

- Hamiltonian Mechanics provides the most powerful view of mechanics – but it’s complicated!

  • My goal is to get the computer to do Hamiltonian Mechanics.
