A propos de cet article

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is intended to help students of physics and other branches of sci-ence in the rst semesters of their studies to better understand the appliedmathematical methods of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. The bookhas the benet of learning, in addition to the physical processes of classicalmechanics, with focus on Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, the math-ematical methods that are equally needed in other branches of physics. Theseinclude: Vector calculus, matrix calculus, tensor calculus, dierential equa-tions, derivative chain rule, Taylor series, dierential geometry, implicit func-tion theorem, coordinate transformation (Jacobian), curvilinear coordinates,Legendre transformation, and much more.Chapter 1 describes the basics of Newtonian mechanics in a review. In addi-tion to Newton's laws, the two-body problem is dealt with in detail. Kepler'slaws are a by-product of this.Chapter 2 explains the origins of the variation technique with its historicalorigin in the brachistochrone problem. After introducing generalised coordin-ates and applying Newton's principle of determinacy, the Lagrangian approachfor mechanical systems is derived. The conservation laws play an importantrole in this context. Applications are shown for motions in a central eld. TheLagrangian dynamics for oscillations with the various modes is discussed indepth. The application of linear algebra (eigenvectors, normal coordinates) istreated in great detail.Chapter 3 develops the Hamiltonian dynamics for mechanical systems. Thetransition from the conguration space of Lagrangian mechanics to the sym-plectic phase space of Hamiltonian mechanics (Legendre transformation) isdiscussed. An additional section deals with Routh's procedure, which can bedescribed as a mixture of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics.The extension of the permissible transformations of the variables (qi; pi) ofHamiltonian mechanics in comparison to Lagrangian approach leads us to thecanonical transformations, Chapter 4. Here the generating functions of thecanonical transformations are derived with the help of the Legendre trans-formation. The symplectic relationship of canonical transformations is clearlyworked out.In Chapter 5, the Hamiltonian equations of motion are described using thePoisson formalism, which provides the equations of motion with a symmetricalform. Further topics such as constants of motion, Jacobi identity, canonicalinvariance, Liouville's theorem, etc. are treated in detail.1Hamilton-Jacobi theory, Chapter 6, considers the interesting approach ofnding a canonical transformation in which the phase space coordinates andthe new Hamiltonian are all constant. This is discussed in depth and the stu-dent is given a procedure for solving a mechanical system.A canonical transformation, the so-called action-angle variable, which is dis-cussed in Chapter 7, is suitable for periodic phase orbits. The important eldof adiabatic invariants with reference to quantum mechanics is also discussed.The texts are supported with many graphics and help the student to graspthe current topic more intuitively. All chapters contain many exercises. Thestudent is encouraged to rst try to solve the exercises independently beforeconsulting the solutions provided. 340 pp. Englisch.…
