SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding practice resources for Lagrangians and Hamiltonians in theoretical mechanics. Participants recommend the "Schaum's Outline of Theoretical Mechanics" as a valuable source for problem sets and practice questions. This outline provides structured exercises that enhance understanding of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations. Users express satisfaction with this recommendation for their study needs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of classical mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with Lagrangian mechanics
  • Knowledge of Hamiltonian mechanics
  • Basic problem-solving skills in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore "Schaum's Outline of Theoretical Mechanics" for practice problems
  • Study Lagrangian dynamics through additional textbooks
  • Investigate Hamiltonian mechanics applications in advanced physics
  • Practice solving differential equations related to Lagrangians and Hamiltonians
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators teaching classical mechanics, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations.

I need to brush up on L and H. Does anyone know of any sources of practice for these two? Any problem sets?

Thanks.
