Hamiltonian mechanics, with its compact formulation and phase space representation, provides an elegant framework that encapsulates both predictable regularity and chaotic behaviour.

The classical analogies are Newton's second law and Hamiltonian mechanics, which predict what a classical system will do in the future given its current configuration.

Aims: to build upon the students' prior knowledge of Newtonian mechanics and special relativity and show that these can be understood within a deeper and more powerful mathematical framework. Students ...

My background is in the area of mathematical physics, in particular, quantum mechanics, classical (Hamiltonian) mechanics, and dynamical systems (including fractals and chaos).In mathematical terms ...

Physics 2210, classical mechanics/math Methods 1, is the first semester of our two-semester sequence of sophomore-level classical mechanics combined with math methods. The first semester is math heavy ...
