Lecturer:
Igor Jex (guarantor), Petr Novotný
Tutor:
Jaroslav Novotný, Petr Novotný, Filip Petrásek, Václav Zatloukal
Supervisor:
Department of Physics
Synopsis:

The course is an introduction to analytical mechanics. The students acquire knowledge of the basic concepts of the Lagrange formalism. The efficiency of this method is illustrated on elementary examples like the two-body problem, the motion of a system of constrained mass points, and of a rigid body. Advanced parts of the course cover differential and integral principles of mechanics. The subject is the first part of the course of classical theoretical physics (02TEF1, 02TEF2).
