Description
Theoretical Mechanics. Instructor: Prof. Charudatt Kadolkar, Department of Physics, IIT Guwahati.
This course focuses on analytical aspects of classical mechanics and is targeted towards the audience who are interested in pursuing research in Physics. Various formulations of mechanics, like the Lagrangian formulation, the Hamiltonian formulation, the Poisson bracket formulation will be taught in the course. The course also introduces the mechanics of continuous systems and fields. (from nptel.ac.in)
