It then introduces and explores Lagrange equations for various systems, linear and non-linear oscillations, Hamiltonian formalism, and the motion of a rigid body. Each topic is accompanied by problems that are suitable for seminars and testing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book also includes five supplemental sections, which provide practical illustrations of the theoretical material. These sections can be used by teachers as the basis for conducting a specialized course, or by curious students who wish to explore different applications of analytical mechanics independently.","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45051185168535,"sku":"9780198894681","price":4459.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198894681.webp?v=1769228762","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lectures-on-analytical-mechanics-9780198894681","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
