Hamiltonian mechanics | Dynamical systems

Hamiltonian mechanics

Hamiltonian mechanics emerged in 1833 as a reformulation of Lagrangian mechanics. Introduced by Sir William Rowan Hamilton, Hamiltonian mechanics replaces (generalized) velocities used in Lagrangian mechanics with (generalized) momenta. Both theories provide interpretations of classical mechanics and describe the same physical phenomena. Hamiltonian mechanics has a close relationship with geometry (notably, symplectic geometry and Poisson structures) and serves as a link between classical and quantum mechanics. (Wikipedia).

Let's Learn Physics: Chaos in Phase Space

We have seen how Hamiltonian mechanics can be used to solve for the dynamics of physical systems. It turns out that there is quite a bit of hidden power in this formalism in that we can prove some fairly general statements about physics as a whole. We will see one of these results, known a
