Explores canonical transformations in Hamiltonian formalism, emphasizing preservation of the action principle and structure necessary for transformations.
Covers the basics of molecular dynamics simulations, ensemble properties, classical mechanics formulations, numerical integration, energy conservation, and constraint algorithms.
Covers the Calculus of Variations to find ground states in quantum mechanics by minimizing energy, discussing the Euler Lagrange equation and the Fundamental Theorem of Young Measure Theory.
