Hamiltonian Mechanics: Another Alternative to the Traditional Newtonian Formulation

<p>Apart from the Newtonian and Lagrangian formulation of classical mechanics, there also exist yet another formulation known as Hamiltonian mechanics which, although similar to the Lagrangian formalism, can be even more versatile in certain situations.</p> <p>For this post, I would like to briefly introduce Hamiltonian mechanics by deriving the necessary equations and elaborating on various advantages it has over the Lagrangian formalism (which you can review in&nbsp;<a href="https://medium.com/@2305sakake/lagrangian-mechanics-an-alternative-to-the-traditional-newtonian-formulation-b1ecddd1f64f" rel="noopener">this post</a>).</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/technological-singularity/hamiltonian-mechanics-another-alternative-to-the-traditional-newtonian-formulation-789bd715b79f"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
