Description
Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Dynamics by Peter Mann is an introductory textbook that explores the subject of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics. This self-contained setting provides a relaxed approach to understanding mechanics, gradually building in complexity to form the basis for theoretical physics. The book covers novel aspects of mechanics, including differential geometry and field theories, making it an ideal gateway to more abstract concepts. It features fully worked examples, vibrant illustrations, and an informal narrative, supported by numerous fresh applications. This textbook also delves into unusual topics, such as classical wavefunctions and variational principles for non-holonomic constraints. By covering the fundamentals of mechanics in a modern and inter-disciplinary approach, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics, making it suitable for newcomers and experienced readers alike.
