Lagrangian Mechanics: Symmetries and Conservation Laws

Description

This lecture introduces Lagrangian mechanics, emphasizing the mathematical relationship between coordinates and referential changes. It explores Lagrangian gauge invariance, the laws of physics, and the principle of least action. Symmetries, cyclic coordinates, and conservation laws are discussed, along with the Hamiltonian and total energy concepts.
