Explores stellar orbits in rotating potentials, focusing on surfaces of section, integrals of motion, and stability around Lagrange points.
Covers time-independent and time-dependent constraints in mechanics, balance, small oscillations, Lagrange method, kinetic energy, equilibrium, and stability.
Discusses the application of action principles in classical field theory, focusing on Lagrange and Hamiltonian formulations.
Covers Lagrangian mechanics, a method simplifying equations of motion by focusing on energy concepts and generalized forces in complex systems.
