New Forum for Analytical Mechanics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the proposal for a dedicated forum for analytical mechanics, specifically focusing on Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics. Participants suggest that the General Physics forum could serve as an appropriate venue for such discussions, while noting that specific applications, like Quantum Mechanics, should be directed to their respective forums. The need for a specialized space for analytical mechanics is acknowledged, highlighting the community's interest in this area of physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Lagrangian dynamics
  • Familiarity with Hamiltonian dynamics
  • Basic knowledge of forum structures and categorization
  • Awareness of related physics topics, such as Quantum Mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research existing forums focused on Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics
  • Explore the structure and categorization of the General Physics forum
  • Investigate community interest in specialized physics forums
  • Analyze successful models of niche forums in scientific discussions
USEFUL FOR

Physics enthusiasts, educators, and researchers interested in analytical mechanics and those looking to engage in specialized discussions within the physics community.

Arcon
I was wondering what people thought about the notion of creating a forum for analytical mechanics, i.e. Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics. If not then what forum would you recommend discussing the subject?

Thanks

I would think here, In General Physics, would be a good spot, unless it is a specific application which would go in a different forum, i.e. Quantum.
