The goal is to provide a detailed knowledge of the foundations of lagrangian and hamiltonian mechanics, to discuss physically relevant applications and to introduce the fundamental principles on integrable and chaotic systems.
We expect that the student ripen quantitative understanding and be able to deal with exercises and insights in this area.

Lagrangian form of the equations of motion. Central forces. Kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies. Oscillations. Hamiltonian mechanics, canonical transformations. Integrable systems. Hamiltonian chaos. Perturbation theory.
