geometry); Lagrangian dynamics (generalized coordinates, D’Alembert principle, Lagrange’s
equation of motion, problem solving using Lagrange equation, Noether theorem for conservation
laws, Lagrange equation for nonnonholonomic constraints and dissipative systems );

space, Liouville’s theorem, Poisson bracket ); Special theory of relativity (Einstein’s postulates,
Lorentz transformation, length contraction, time dilation, covariant formulation, four vectors,
relativistic dynamics, lagrange and Hamiltonian formulation for relativistic mechanics), Capita
