An Introduction to Hamiltonian Mechanics: Birkhäuser Advanced Texts Basler Lehrbücher

Autor Gerardo F. Torres del Castillo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 sep 2018
This textbook examines the Hamiltonian formulation in classical mechanics with the basic mathematical tools of multivariate calculus. It explores topics like variational symmetries, canonoid transformations, and geometrical optics that are usually omitted from an introductory classical mechanics course. For students with only a basic knowledge of mathematics and physics, this book makes those results accessible through worked-out examples and well-chosen exercises.

For readers not familiar with Lagrange equations, the first chapters are devoted to the Lagrangian formalism and its applications. Later sections discuss canonical transformations, the Hamilton–Jacobi equation, and the Liouville Theorem on solutions of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation. 

Graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics or mathematics who are interested in mechanics and applied math will benefit from this treatment of analytical mechanics. The textassumes the basics of classical mechanics, as well as linear algebra, differential calculus, elementary differential equations and analytic geometry. Designed for self-study, this book includes detailed examples and exercises with complete solutions, although it can also serve as a class text.

Recenzii

“This book is primarily intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics and applied mathematics. … in my opinion this book may be regarded as a valuable addition to the existing literature in the field.” (Frans Cantrijn, Mathematical Reviews, July, 2019)

“‘This book is intended for advanced undergraduate or graduate students in physics or applied mathematics and for researchers working in related subjects.’” (Cristian Lăzureanu, zbMATH 1422.70001, 2019)

“A book for beginning students of analytical mechanics, whether they be advanced undergraduates, graduate students or others wishing to learn more about mechanics through self-study. The book does a very nice job of shepherding the reader from Newtonian mechanics to Lagrangian mechanics … . This book is a must-have library book for any mathematics or physics library.” (Steven Deckelman,MAA Reviews, May 20, 2019)
