Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Geometries: Applications to Analytical Mechanics
by Radu Miron
Publisher: arXiv 2011
ISBN/ASIN: 3659710199
Number of pages: 266
Description:
The aim of the present text is twofold: to provide a compendium of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian geometries and to introduce and investigate new analytical Mechanics: Finslerian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian. The fundamental equations (or evolution equations) of these Mechanics are derived from the variational calculus...

Lagrangian Mechanics, Dynamics, and Controlby Andrew D. Lewis - Queen's University
These notes deal primarily with the subject of Lagrangian mechanics. The control theory we discuss here is quite elementary, it will serve to give a flavour of the subject so that people can see if the area is one which they'd like to pursue.

Lagrangian Mechanicsby Huseyin Canbolat - InTech
Lagrangian mechanics is widely used in several areas of research and technology. It is simply a reformulation of the classical mechanics by the mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange in 1788. Since then, this approach has been applied to various fields.
