What do you think of Hamilton-Jacobi method
a.
Historically important
b.
Hysterical
c.
Painful
d.
Might be useful
The next 3 slides contain important equations that you will
hopefully remember for this material contained in Chapters
3 & 6 of Fetter and Walecka. On Monday we will start
with Chapter 5 and discuss one of the many applications of
these ideas – the case of rigid body motion.

Recipe for constructing the Hamiltonian and analyzing
the equations of motion
In this lecture we will discuss a variety of identities and methods and historically important ideas related to Hamiltonian and Lagrangian mechanics.
Lecture 9 on the extensions of Hamiltonian formalism covers topics such as the Virial theorem, canonical transformations, and the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism. It delves into proofs and examples related to the Virial theorem, including applications to the harmonic oscillator and circular orbits in gravitational fields. The lecture also explores Hamiltonian formalism and canonical equations of motion, emphasizing the significance of finding different generalized coordinates and momenta. The discussion extends to canonical transformations and Hamilton's principle in the context of Legendre transformations.
