Status Updates From Mathematical Methods of Cla...

All standard stuff, just introducing laws of motion we already. Feeling like Im waiting for the bass to drop at an edm festival, only im completely sober and cognizant of the fact the people around me are about to introduce my olfactory system to some traumatic sensations it may never recover from. In over words, we're pretty good so far cant wait for more

Starting Chapter 7 (Hamiltonian formalism) which is the main goal.

Finished Chapter 1; quite instructive, presenting known facts in a new form.

Selectively reading, focusing on symplectic parts. But also casually reading the rest. It is always something I am a bit intimidated of but maybe a good time to try.

At this point my favourite introduction to mechanics from a mathematical perspective. Rigorous while still (imo) understandable and not losing itself in needless abstractions (at least on page 20 lol).
