Chapter 4 Canonical Transformations, Hamilton-Jacobi Equations, and Action-Angle Variables We’ve made good use of the Lagrangian formalism. Here we’ll study dynamics with the Hamiltonian formalism. Problems can be greatly simpli ed by a good choice of generalized coordinates. How far can we push this? Example: Let us imagine that we nd ...
