Classical Mechanics | Lecture 8

Professor of Theoretical Physics

1:38:07·2011·undergraduate level

Professor Susskind develops the formalism of angular momentum within the Hamiltonian framework, meticulously deriving its equations of motion. The lecture introduces Poisson Brackets as a fundamental tool for analyzing conserved quantities in classical dynamics.

(November 14, 2011) Leonard Susskind discusses the some of the basic laws and ideas of modern physics. In this lecture, he looks closely at the concept of angular momentum and Poisson Brackets. He derives the basic angular momentum equations and shows how they can describe this fundamental type of motion.
