The lecture Theoretical Physics 1 is a basis for the following lectures of theoretical physics for the doctoral study. The main aim is theoretical Mechanics - to master the description of motion in curvilinear coordinates.
Course outlines
1. Generalized coordinates and momenta. State of the system, configuration space.
2. Equations of motion: Hamilton's variational principle, Lagrange equations.
3. Conservation laws in nature: generalized momentum, generalized energy, phase space.
4. Hamilton's canonical equations, Hamilton's function.
5. Poisson formulation of the equations of motion. Poisson equations. Lie algebra.
6. Nonlinear dynamical systems: Solutions of the ordinary differentially equations.
7. Bifurcation. Equation stability and phase space portrait. Ljapunov stability.
8. Attractors. Strange attractors.
9. Chaotic sets, deterministic chaos.
