Learning objectives
The main goals of this course are: to provide the basis of Hamiltonian formalism in Classical Mechanics; to provide an introduction to perturbation theory for almost-integrable systems; to illustrate, by means of Lab sessions, some numerical methods for problems arising from Mechanics.
Expected learning outcomes
The student will be able to use the Hamiltonian formalism in the description and analysis of dynamical systems; to apply the main theorems about the dynamics of Hamiltonian systems, or their study; to use perturbation theory techniques in the Hamiltonian case.
