The two Manchester years, however, had been very influential in Goldstein's later career, both by helping him to recognize the great general strength of Manchester University and its special importance to fluid dynamics (associated with the monumental achievements over many decades of the former Manchester professors, Osbore Reynolds and Horace
Sep 7, 2024 · Goldstein brought to this important task not only his own personal distinction in those fields but also his great experience in leading interacting groups working in experimental and theoretical fluid dynamics with largely aeronautical objectives.

Arnold presents a more modern mathematical approach to the topics of this course, making connections with the di erential geometry of manifolds and forms. It kicks o with \The Universe is an A ne Space" and proceeds from there...

\So few went to hear him, and fewer understood him, that oftimes he did, for want of hearers, read to the walls. He usually stayed about half an hour; when he had no auditors he commonly returned in a quarter of that time."
In the rest of this section, we'll take a ying tour through the basic ideas of classical mechanics handed down to us by Newton. More details can be found in the lectures on Dynamics and Relativity. We'll start with a single particle.. A particle is de ned to be an object of insigni cant size. e.g. an electron, a tennis ball or a planet. Obviously t...
We de ne the angular momentum L of a particle and the torque acting upon it as
The total momentum is de ned to be P = P pi and, from the formulae above, it is simple to derive P _ = Fext. So we nd the conservation law of total linear momentum for a system of many particles: P is constant if Fext vanishes. Similarly, we de ne total angular momentum to be L = P Li. Now let's see what happens when we compute the time derivative....
When I was in high school, my physics teacher called me down one day after class and said, \You look bored, I want to tell you something interesting". Then he told me something I have always found fascinating. Every time the subject comes up I work on it.
Feynman's teacher told him about the \Principle of Least Action", one of the most profound results in physics.
De ne the Lagrangian to be a function of the positions xA and the velocities _xA of all the particles, given by
particle moves in the (x; y) plane with a force directed towards the origin O with magnitude propor-tional to the distance from O. How does it move? In Cartesian coordinates, this problem is easy. We have the Lagrangian
Now we turn to the second advantage of the Lagrangian formulation. In writing _pi = r iV , we implicitly assume that each particle can happily roam anywhere in space R3. What if there are constraints? In Newtonian mechanics, we introduce \constraint forces". These are things like the tension of ropes, and normal forces applied by surfaces. In the L...
Let's see how this works in the simple example of the pendulum. We can parameterise the constraints in terms of the generalised coordinate so that x = l sin and y = l cos . We now substitute this directly into the Lagrangian for a particle moving in the plane under the e ect of gravity, to get
For completeness, let's quickly review a couple of non-holonomic constraints. There's no general theory to solve systems of this type, although it turns out that both of the examples we describe here can be solved with relative ease using di erent methods. We won't discuss non-holonomic constraints for the rest of this course, and include a brief d...
Let's review what we've learnt so far. A system is described by n generalised coordinates qi which de ne a point in an n-dimensional con guration space C. Time evolution is a curve in C governed by the Lagrangian
In this subsection we shall discuss the appearance of conservation laws in the Lagrangian formulation and, in particular, a beautiful and important theorem due to Noether relating conserved quantities to symmetries. Let's start with a de nition. A function F (qi; _qi; t) of the coordinates, their time derivatives and (possibly) time t is called a c...
What about homogeneity of time? In mathematical language, this means L is invariant under t ! t+s or, in other words, @L=@t = 0. But we already saw earlier in this section that this implies H = P _qi(@L=@ qi) _ i L is conserved. In the systems we're considering, this is simply the total energy. We see that the existence of a conserved quantity whic...
Having developed all of these tools, let's now apply them to a few examples.
This is an example of a system with a time dependent holonomic constraint. The hoop is of radius a and rotates with frequency ! as shown in gure 9. The bead, of mass m, is threaded on the hoop and moves without friction. We want to determine its motion. There is a single degree of freedom , the angle the bead makes with the vertical. In terms of Ca...
To determine the Lagrangian in terms of the generalised coordinate we must substi-tute these expressions into the Lagrangian for the free particle. For the kinetic energy we have
We saw from the beginning that the Lagrangian formulation works with conservative forces which can be written in terms of a potential. It is no good at dealing with friction forces which are often of the type F = k _x. But there are other velocity dependent forces which arise in the fundamental laws of Nature. It's a crucial fact about Nature that ...
\Physics is that subset of human experience which can be reduced to cou-pled harmonic oscillators" Michael Peskin Peskin doesn't say this to knock physics. He's just a fan of harmonic oscillators. And rightly so. By studying the simple harmonic oscillator and its relatives in ever more inventive ways we understand why the stars shine and why lasers...
Let's look at the kinetic energy for a rotating body. We can write
i cacb) But the terms in square brackets that are linear in ri vanish if ri is measured from the centre of mass since P
\To those who study the progress of exact science, the common spinning-top is a symbol of the labours and the perplexities of men."
The analytic solution for the general motion of an asymmetric top is rather complicated, involving Jacobian elliptic functions. But there's a nice geometrical way of viewing the motion due to Poinsot. We start by working in the body frame. There are two constants of motion: the kinetic energy T and the magnitude of the angular momentum L2. In terms...
