Analytical dynamics
  • 1. Analytical dynamics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the study of motion and forces in terms of differential equations. It extends the classical dynamics by incorporating the use of advanced mathematical methods, such as calculus of variations and differential geometry, to analyze the motion of complex systems. The principles of analytical dynamics are fundamental in understanding the behavior of celestial bodies, fluids, rigid bodies, and even particles at the quantum level. By formulating and solving differential equations that describe the motion and interactions of particles and systems, analytical dynamics provides a powerful framework for predicting and explaining the behavior of dynamic systems in physics and engineering.
