  • Euler and the Dynamics of Rigid Bodies Sebastià Xambó Descamps
    Euler and the dynamics of rigid bodies Sebastià Xambó Descamps Abstract. After presenting in contemporary terms an outline of the kinematics and dynamics of systems of particles, with emphasis in the kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies, we will consider briefly the main points of the historical unfolding that produced this understanding and, in particular, the decisive role played by Euler. In our presentation the main role is not played by inertial (or Galilean) observers, but rather by observers that are allowed to move in an arbitrary (smooth, non-relativistic) way. 0. Notations and conventions The material in sections 0-6 of this paper is an adaptation of parts of the Mechanics chapter of XAMBÓ-2007. The mathematical language used is rather standard. The read- er will need a basic knowledge of linear algebra, of Euclidean geometry (see, for exam- ple, XAMBÓ-2001) and of basic calculus. 0.1. If we select an origin in Euclidean 3-space , each point can be specified by a vector , where is the Euclidean vector space associated with . This sets up a one-to-one correspondence between points and vectors . The inverse map is usually denoted . Usually we will speak of “the point ”, instead of “the point ”, implying that some point has been chosen as an origin. Only when conditions on this origin become re- levant will we be more specific. From now on, as it is fitting to a mechanics context, any origin considered will be called an observer. When points are assumed to be moving with time, their movement will be assumed to be smooth.

  • Lectures on Classical Mechanics
    Lectures on Classical Mechanics John C. Baez Derek K. Wise (version of September 7, 2019) i c 2017 John C. Baez & Derek K. Wise ii iii Preface These are notes for a mathematics graduate course on classical mechanics at U.C. River- side. I've taught this course three times recently. Twice I focused on the Hamiltonian approach. In 2005 I started with the Lagrangian approach, with a heavy emphasis on action principles, and derived the Hamiltonian approach from that. This approach seems more coherent. Derek Wise took beautiful handwritten notes on the 2005 course, which can be found on my website: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/classical/ Later, Blair Smith from Louisiana State University miraculously appeared and volun- teered to turn the notes into LATEX . While not yet the book I'd eventually like to write, the result may already be helpful for people interested in the mathematics of classical mechanics. The chapters in this LATEX version are in the same order as the weekly lectures, but I've merged weeks together, and sometimes split them over chapter, to obtain a more textbook feel to these notes. For reference, the weekly lectures are outlined here. Week 1: (Mar. 28, 30, Apr. 1)|The Lagrangian approach to classical mechanics: deriving F = ma from the requirement that the particle's path be a critical point of the action. The prehistory of the Lagrangian approach: D'Alembert's \principle of least energy" in statics, Fermat's \principle of least time" in optics, and how D'Alembert generalized his principle from statics to dynamics using the concept of \inertia force".
