Formalism of classical mechanics underlies a couple of strong mathematical tools which are wide-spread in theoretical and mathematical physics. This publication considers the fundamentals proof of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, in addition to comparable issues, resembling canonical alterations, quintessential invariants, power movement in geometric environment, symmetries, the Noether theorem and structures with constraints. whereas often times the formalism is constructed past the normal point followed within the commonplace textbooks on classical mechanics, in basic terms simple mathematical tools are utilized in the exposition of the cloth. The mathematical buildings concerned are explicitly defined and defined, so the booklet could be a stable start line for the undergraduate pupil new to this box. while and the place attainable, intuitive motivations are changed by means of specific proofs and direct computations, conserving the extent of rigor that makes the booklet helpful for the graduate scholars aspiring to paintings in a single of the branches of the substantial box of theoretical physics. to demonstrate how classical-mechanics formalism works in different branches of theoretical physics, examples relating to electrodynamics, in addition to to relativistic and quantum mechanics, are integrated.
