Review of elementary Newtonian mechanics (Newton's laws, Galilei transformations and conservation laws, accelerated reference systems, etc.).

Principles of canonical mechanics (Lagrange and Hamilton formalism, canonical transformations, Hamilton-Jacobi equations, etc.).

Relativistic mechanics (Lorentz transformations etc.).

Geometric aspects of mechanics (introduction to differential geometry and its use in mechanics).

Continuous systems (introduction to classical field theory).

After completion of the course you should be able to:

• use the formalisms of Lagrange and Hamilton in specific examples.
• solve a larger variety of problems using methods in analytical mechanics than before.
• apply the mathematical tools that have been developed during the course.
• analyze and apply equations in classical field theory.

Obligatory courses in Mechanics and Mathematical Methods in Physics.

Students at KTH with a permanent disability can get support during studies from Funka:

Funka - compensatory support for students with disabilities

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

• TEN1 - Examination, 4.5 credits, Grading scale: 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.

This course includes SI1142.

If you have points in SI1142 you cannot earn points in TEN1 Part A, and to get TEN1 Part A you need to  transfer 3 points from SI1142 to SI2360.

It is possible to do only TEN1 Part A and get the result registered as SI1142. 

SI2360 and SI1142 cannot be counted in the final exam at the same time (only one or the other). 

TENA and TENB can be given at the same exam. TENA corresponds to course SI1142. SI2360 and SI1142 cannot be included in the same degree.

 TEN 1 Part A (3p) TEN 1 Part B (1.5hp) TEN 2 (3p). 

TEN1 Part A corresponds to SI1142. SI1142 can therefore be transferred to TEN1 Part A. 

TEN1 Parts A and B are normally written exams and can be written at the same time. TEN2 is usually an oral exam. 

See information regarding grading and assessment on the course Canvas page.

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
