Awesome answers! Thanks so much!

Hello! I'm currently making my way through the book "Quantum Field Theory of Point Particles and Strings" and on page 13 they talk are talking about quantization of the classical versions momentum and position. The first part to quantizing these is turning them into operators. The books goes on...

I'm not switching to the easier coordinates just yet, although I do know they simplify things greatly. What would the Euler-Lagrange Equations be if I remained with the non-reduced coordinates for right now?

Homework Statement I'm trying to do a little review of Lagrangian Mechanics through studying the two-body problem for a radial force. I have the Lagrangian of the system L=\frac{1}{2}m_1\dot{\vec{r_1}}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_2\dot{\vec{r_2}}^{2}-V(|{\vec{r_1}-\vec{r_2}}|) . Now I'm trying to find...

Well, I'm applying to graduate schools with the intent on studying cosmology, but I'm interested in a wide array of Physics topics.

I'm a senior physics and astronomy major at a big college. I don't know why I didn't join this site much earlier on in my studies and love of physics. I look forward to participating in this community!
