Important Information


Lecture Notes

Here are two chapters from my PHYS 601 (Analytic Mechanics) notes that contain material relevant for this course. They might be useful this semester.
Chapter 1 (Review of Newtonian Mechanics; typeset): This contains e.g. a discussion of the Galilei Group.
Chapter 4, sections 1-4 (Hamilton Formalism I; handwritten): A basic introduction to the Hamilton formulation of mechanics.
Chapter 4, sections 5-7 (Hamilton Formalism II; handwritten ): This contains e.g. an introduction to Hamilton-Jacobi theory.


PHYS 606 Notes: These are early versions of notes which can contain typos and other kind of errors. Please notify me of any errors you might notice.
