Abstract

A macroscopic object we encounter in our daily life consists of an enormously large number of atoms. While the behavior of these atoms is governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, it is often acceptable to describe them by means of classical mechanics. In this chapter, we familiarize ourselves with the basic concepts of classical mechanics. From the outset, we assume that concepts such as mass, time, displacement, and force are understood on the basis of our everyday experiences without further elaboration. The role of classical mechanics, then is to explore the precise relationship among these objects in mathematical terms.

Zurück zum Zitat Goldstein H (1980) Classical Mechanics, 2nd edn. Addison-Wesley, Reading, Massachusetts The book has much to recommend and it is in fact one of the standard references on classical mechanics. For a detailed discussion of what we saw in this chapter, see Chaps. 1, 2, and 8. For a discussion on the relation between the energy function and the mechanical energy, see pp. 60-61. The corresponding discussion regarding the Hamiltonian and the mechanical energy is in pp. 349-351. For Routhian and its application, see Sect. 8.3. Note that his Routhian is the negative of ours. Various properties of the Poisson bracket are given in Chap. 9. Goldstein H (1980) Classical Mechanics, 2nd edn.
