Lecture

Symmetry in Lagrangian Mechanics

Description

This lecture covers the concept of symmetry in Lagrangian mechanics, focusing on the theorems of Nether from 1917. The instructor, Paolo De Los Rios, explains how the Lagrangian remains unchanged under certain transformations, leading to conserved quantities. The lecture also discusses the implications of these symmetries on the dynamics of physical systems.
