Objective
Aim is to learn to describe system's motion by Lagrangian and Hamiltonian equations and taking into account the effect of rotating and/or accelarated motion of coordinate system (Noninertial Reference Frame) on equations. The course develops the following generic skills: critical thinking, identification and development of one's own expertise, and interaction and communication
Methods of completion
48 h lectures, 20 h exercises, 67 h independent studying
Methods of completion
