FYS-4406 Analytical Mechanics, 5 cr
Implementation FYS-4406 2019-01
Description
After passing the course, the student is acquainted with advanced formulations and methods of classical mechanics and can construct problems of physics in the framework of variational calculus. In addition to analytic skills, the student has the basic skills in numerical simulation of classical mechanics systems. Furthermore, the student has introductory skills to analyzing and solving nonlinear problems in physics.

Requirements
The total mark is determined based on a final exam, practical work assignments, and the student's activity in exercise classes and group projects:
1) There will be only 9 double lectures. They are intended to give an introduction to the concepts and methods used in analytical mechanics. First period, Monday 10-12 at SJ212A. Final exam 40% of the points to determine the grade.
2) In addition, there are 13 assignment sessions, for practicing problem solving techniques, going through central examples of Lagrange and Hamilton mechanics, as well as nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory. In addition, there will be numerical assignments. Assignments 50%
3) As the assignments may be sometimes like small projects, the 13 weekly exercises are meant for shorter problems and applications of theory. Exercises 10%
