Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Geometries: Applications to Analytical Mechanics
by

Publisher: arXiv
ISBN/ASIN: 3659710199
Number of pages: 266

Description:
The aim of the present text is twofold: to provide a compendium of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian geometries and to introduce and investigate new analytical Mechanics: Finslerian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian. The fundamental equations (or evolution equations) of these Mechanics are derived from the variational calculus...

by - Queen's University
These notes deal primarily with the subject of Lagrangian mechanics. The control theory we discuss here is quite elementary, it will serve to give a flavour of the subject so that people can see if the area is one which they'd like to pursue.

Book cover: An Introduction to Lagrangian MechanicsAn Introduction to Lagrangian Mechanics
by - Saint Michael's College, Colchester
These lecture notes provide a self-consistent introduction to Classical Mechanics. They are normally used for an intermediate course in Classical Mechanics by inserting a more general and rigorous introduction to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods.

Book cover: Lagrangian MechanicsLagrangian Mechanics
by - InTech
Lagrangian mechanics is widely used in several areas of research and technology. It is simply a reformulation of the classical mechanics by the mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange in 1788. Since then, this approach has been applied to various fields.
