    I'm studying mechanical engineering in Italy, our professor's introduced the Lagrange equations to us making tons of calculations and partial derivatives without even explaining the sense of what he was doing. This, however, is by far the clearest explanation I've found about this fascinating topic, I wish I would have had a professor like him teaching my courses.

      I personally think that lectures should be spent more on example problems instead of rigorous proofs and derivations.
      The lectures are primarily supposed to be a foundation for your studies anyway, they aren't supposed to cover the material that the course books already talk about at length.
      I also think that proofs make much more sense after you have already tried a few example problems - they shouldn't be this mysterious mess of symbols and definitions, they should actually mean something and become obvious to you after you have checked them a couple times, otherwise they are useless.

    "In 1766, on the recommendation of Swiss Leonhard Euler and French d'Alembert, Lagrange succeeded Euler as the director of mathematics at the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin, Prussia, where he stayed for over twenty years, producing volumes of work and winning several prizes of the French Academy of Sciences. Lagrange's treatise on analytical mechanics (Mécanique analytique, 4. ed., 2 vols. Paris: Gauthier-Villars et fils, 1788-89), written in Berlin and first published in 1788, offered the most comprehensive treatment of classical mechanics since Newton and formed a basis for the development of mathematical physics in the nineteenth century.
    In 1787, at age 51, he moved from Berlin to Paris and became a member of the French Academy of Sciences. He remained in France until the end of his life. He was instrumental in the decimalisation in Revolutionary France, became the first professor of analysis at the École Polytechnique upon its opening in 1794, was a founding member of the Bureau des Longitudes, and became Senator in 1799."

    18:12 that is because the rotations are not conmutative. Furthermore, 2 rotations is just a subspace of Lie Algebra, se(3), of Euclidean Group, SE(3), to be holonomic you need the movement be a subalgebra of Lie Algebra, like 3 rotations (spherical) or general planar motion (x and y traslations y z rotation) or planar traslation etc.

    The conceptual descriptions here are cogent and systematic, but I think the jump from a spring pendulum to that rod/sleeve problem serves to confuse rather than make anything clearer. I understand wanting to give students a challenging problem so that others are easy by comparison, but there seems to me to be too much to keep track of in that problem-rotation, driving force etc.-to solidify the concepts by example. You lose the forest in the trees. I think a more intermediate problem might have been useful to solve to completion.

      You are lucky to have a community college lecturer who seemed to be as good as one from MIT. And it is possible to have a lecturer from MIT to be worse. A place like that hires people who can obtain research funding from which a fraction of the salary comes. And the hiring process involves ONE public talk, based on which the candidate’s EQ (ability to understand the question) and IQ (cleverness of the answer to the question or the way in which the answer is delivered) are judged. Mercifully (for the students) there is a 6-12 year period of observation before a candidate receives tenure and becomes a part of the permanent staff.

    • @LusidDreaming
      @LusidDreaming Před 4 lety +1

      There are two components to it's kinetic energy. The first is due to its translational energy, and the second is due to the fact that it's rotating about it's center of mass (while simultaneously translating). So you are correct that A is the axis of rotation for it's entire motion, but to simplify the calculations, the translational motion is treated separately from the rotational motion. This is because Izz wrt A of the sleeve would be time dependent in the inertial frame, but Izz wrt G is not. It's essentially using superposition to isolate a fixed point of rotation.

    At the beginning he refers to better notes "in the cellar" it sounds like. Does anybody know what an where this is? I've got the OCW course materials, but he seemed to me to say there was something better on the net someplace...
    Thanks,

      He mentions Stellar which is MIT's course management system. It is a platform for learning, course management and collaboration, serving the MIT community. Most of the Stellar site is not accessible to the public.

    For the rod problem couldn`t we get the center of mass instead of that way?

    There is two stages in engineer´s life; before and after knowing what a Lagrangian is as well as its practical applications. Vandiver is quite a good choice. Thank you!!!

    Very clear explanation thank you, but instead of practical problems I am more interested on HOW Lagrange got into this

    • @PeteZam
      @PeteZam Před rokem +1

      dr leonard susskind from standford also has a series of videos on this very topic in his classical mechanics course. if you go to the part in the course where he first introduces hamilton, he briefly comments on what lagrange was doing and why he did it, and then jokes about how he has no clue what hamilton was doing or why he was doing it, or what he was smoking at the time.

  • @walkerjian
    @walkerjian Před 4 lety

    step 3 @ 22:18 could be confusing as he wants you to find T AND V, not T PLUS V - a very different thing. Seems a trivial gripe I know, but this could be a real barrier to progress if reviewing notes later

  • @NYKYADU

    can anyone explain why didn't he take Izz about A for sleeve?
    please

    • @LusidDreaming
      @LusidDreaming Před 4 lety +1

      Because Izz wrt A would be time dependent in the intertial frame. So instead he used superposition to treat the translational energy and rotational energy separately, and therefore simplify the problem by only considering Izz wrt G, which is constant

  • @anuraganandam
    @anuraganandam Před 6 lety

    At 50:10 he clearly says that 'it is the change in height' that the rod goes through - so the expression gives 'change' in potential energy.
    However, that is not what we are aiming to write; as per my understanding, we are writing the 'potential energy' of the system, not the change in it.
    If any of you has an explanation, please share with me.

    • @evelynturvey8626
      @evelynturvey8626 Před 6 lety +2

      Anurag Anad: Potential energy can be referred relative to any chosen origin; it is not an absolute quantity as you seem to think. Only changes in potential energy have any physical significance.
