Tensor and vector analysis in general spaces. Tangent and dual vectors. The metric tensor. Lagrange's and Hamilton's formulations of classical mechanics. Noether's theorem. Constants of motion.

After completing the course a student should be able to:

• Use tensor analysis in order to describe and analyze physical relationships
• Use Lagrange's and Hamilton's formalisms in classical mechanics in order to reach conclusions regarding different physical systems and how they behave
• Within Lagrange's and Hamilton's formalisms, account for how constants of motion appear and apply these to the analysis of physical systems

Funka - compensatory support for students with disabilities

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

• TEN2 - Examination, 3.0 credits, Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Pass final examination.

See grading and assessment criteria on the course Canvas page.
