PHY 7 11 Classical Mechanics and Mathematical Methods 9-9:50 AM MWF Olin 107

In this lecture, we will finish reading Chapter 6 and discuss the Virial theorem, canonical transformations, and the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism in classical mechanics. Examples of the Virial theorem will be provided, along with an introduction to canonical transformations and the relations between old and new variables. The concept of "Canonical" transformations will be explained, followed by a discussion on the Hamiltonian formalism and the canonical equations of motion. We will also explore the possibilities of finding all constants of motion using the Hamilton-Jacobi theory. The lecture will conclude with a recap of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian pictures in classical mechanics.
