Omschrijving | In the Caput Mathematical Physics special subjects from the field of theoretical physics are studied with emphasis on mathematics. The subjects are changing from one academic year to the next academic year when the course is given. In the academic year 2017/2018 the subject of the course were N body systems. This first of all concerns Newtonian N body systems as they occur in celestial mechanics but also N body systems with other interactions as they occur in molecular physics will be studied. The following topics will be addressed: - Newtonian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics - reduction of translational and rotational symmetries - central configurations - regularization of binary collisions - two-center problem |
