Lagrangian And Hamiltonian Mechanics: Solutions To The Exercises

This book contains the exercises from the classical mechanics text Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics, together with their complete solutions. It is intended primarily for instructors who are using Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics in their course, but it may also be used, together with that text, by those who are studying mechanics on their own. Sample Chapter(s) Chapter 1: Newton’s Laws Contents: Newton’s Laws The Principle of Virtual Work and D’Alembert’s Principle Lagrange’s Equations The Principle of Stationary Action or Hamilton’s Principle Invariance Transformations and Constants of the Motion Hamilton’s Equations Canonical Transformations Hamilton-Jacobi Theory Action-Angle Variables Non-Integrable Systems Readership: Primarily university instructors and undergraduates in classical mechanics.
