DISPLAYTITLE Structure and Interpretation of ClassicalMechanics Structure and Interpretation of ClassicalMechanics SICM is a classicalmechanics textbook written by Gerald Jay Sussman and Jack Wisdom with Meinhard E. Mayer . It was published by MIT Press in 2001. The book ISBN 0 262 19455 4 is used at Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT to teach a class in advanced classicalmechanics, starting with Lagrangian mechanics Lagrange s equations and proceeding through canonical perturbation theory . SICM explains some physical phenomena by showing computer program s for simulating them. These programs are written in the Scheme programming language Scheme programming language , as were the programs in Sussman s earlier computer science textbook, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs . Sussman wrote Citation needed date May 2011 blockquote Classicalmechanics is deceptively simple. It is surprisingly easy to get the right answer with fallacy fallacious reasoning or without the real understanding. To address this problem Jack Wisdom and I, with help from Hardy Mayer, have written a book with the title of this talk Structure and Interpretation of ClassicalMechanics and are teaching a class at MIT that uses computational techniques to communicate a deeper understanding of Classicalmechanics. We use computational algorithms to express the methods used to analyze dynamical phenomena. Expressing the methods in a computer language forces them to be unambiguous and computationally effective. Formulating a method as a computer executable program and debugging that program is a powerful exercise in the learning process. Also, once formalized procedurally, a mathematical idea becomes a tool that can be used directly to compute results. blockquote The entire text is freely available online from the publisher s website.

For other uses, see Helmholtz theorem . The Helmholtz theorem of classicalmechanics reads as follows Let math H x,p V K p varphi x V math be the Hamiltonian quantum mechanics Hamiltonian of a one dimensional system, where math K frac p 2 2m math is the kinetic energy and math varphi x V math is a U shaped potential energy profile which depends on a parameter math V math . Let math left langle cdot right rangle t math denote the time average. Let math E K varphi, math math T 2 left langle K right rangle t , math math P left langle frac partial varphi partial V right rangle t , math math S E,V log oint sqrt 2m left E varphi left x,V right right ,dx. math Then math dS frac dE PdV T . math Remarks The thesis of this theorem of classicalmechanics reads exactly as the heat theorem of thermodynamics . This fact shows that thermodynamic like relations exist between certain mechanical quantities. This in turn allows to define the thermodynamic state of a one dimensional mechanical system. In particular the temperature math T math is given by time average of the kinetic energy , and the entropy math S math by the logarithm of the Action physics action i.e. math oint dx sqrt 2m left E varphi left x,V right right math . br The importance of this theorem has been recognized by Ludwig Boltzmann who saw how to apply it to macroscopic systems i.e. multidimensional systems , in order to provide a mechanical foundation of equilibrium thermodynamics . This research activity was strictly related to his formulation of the ergodic hypothesis . A multidimensional version of the Helmholtz theorem, based on the ergodic theorem of George David Birkhoff is known as generalized Helmholtz theorem . References ...
