Physics Motivation
Physics component

Classical mechanics is incredibly useful
 Applies to everything bigger than an atom and slower
than about 100,000 miles/sec


Lagrangian method allows “automatic”
generation of correct differential equations for
complex mechanical systems, in generalized
coordinates, with constraints
Machines and structures / Electron beams /
atmospheric phenomena / stellar-planetary
motions / vehicles / fluids in pipes





Hamiltonian formulation transfers DIRECTLY to
quantum mechanics
Matrix approaches also critical for quantum
Differential equations and vector calculus
completely relevant for advanced E&M and wave
propagation classes
Functionals, partial derivatives, vector calculus.
“Real math”. Good grad-school preparation.

1.
A Body at rest remains at rest, while a body in motion at constant velocity
remains in motion
Unless acted on by an external force
DEFINITION of Inertial reference frame
2.
The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force.
3.
Two bodies exert equal and opposite forces on each other
<--- Using 2 and 3 Together
 In absence of external force, momentum change is equal and opposite in two-body
system.
 Regroup terms
 Integrate.
Q.E.D.
Newton’s laws are valid in all inertial (i.e. constant velocity) reference frames
Newton’s Laws imply momentum conservation
