    Derivatives Time
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on clarifying the understanding of time derivatives. The original poster seeks confirmation on their approach after being away from academia for years. Respondents note that both theta and "a" are functions of time, suggesting the expression appears correct but is difficult to interpret due to unclear notation. They recommend using a simple equals sign instead of a right arrow for clarity. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of clear notation in mathematical expressions.

Hi Guys

I just want to make sure that I am on the right track, with regards to time derivatives.
I have been out of university for many years and I have become a bit rusty.

Please refer to the attached image and let me know if I am on the right track.

It's not clear from your notation what you are trying to say. Is ##\theta## a function of time?
 
Both theta and "a" are a function of time

The expression looks right (it's hard to see the dots). But, you should use a simple equals sign ##=##, rather than ##\Rightarrow##.

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...

This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.
