SUMMARY:Classical Mechanics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Manoj Gopalkrishnan\nTata Institute of Fundamental Res
 earch\nSchool of Technology and Computer Science\nHomi Bhabha R\n\nAbstrac
 t: \nThis will be a one hour crash course on some of the basic ideas of cl
 assical mechanics: configuration space\, Lagrangians\, the principle of st
 ationary action\, and Noether's theorem. A reference is the online book ht
 tp://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/classical/texfiles/2005/book/classical.pdf . I
 n the discussion after the talk\, we will work out some JEE physics-style 
 mechanics problems.\n\nThe importance of classical mechanics is hard to ex
 aggerate. It forms the basis of all of modern physics\, and has inspired m
 any deep ideas in mathematics\, from manifolds and topology\, to Lie group
 s and representation theory\, to symplectic and Kahler geometry. Classical
  mechanics is also of obvious importance for understanding most physical p
 henomena\, including most biological phenomena. This talk will not develop
  any of these connections.\n\nPrerequisites: High school-level mathematics
  and physics\, including integration by parts\, should suffice.\n\nurl htt
