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.
