The main objective of this course is to introduce students of physics to the 'modern' formalism of classical (or Newtonian) mechanics, especially Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. An important part of the course will focus on introducing the variational methods and principles in mechanics, or more generally in theoretical physics. Additionally, the course introduces the students to the mechanics of rigid bodies. COURSE PRE-REQUISITE: Mechanics. Calculus. Elements of electromagnetism. COURSE OUTCOMES Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to discuss: Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms . Principles of least action. Variational methods . Rigid body motion .
