Awesome. Though I have no clue what the Hamiltonian formulation is.
Both the quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics have shared a similar concept.
In structural mechanics, we use the virtual method to calculate the hyperstatic structure to determine displacements in a structure, given forces acting on the structure. Another kind of Hamiltonian.
Nothing against this tho, I just don't have the foundation for this.
I still remember that was mind-blowing. High school physics is so simple, whereas the Hamilton is so complex. I later on notice that Hamilton is kind of a more standard way to solve the problem. Never mind, I'm not an expert on it, but I'm just kind of amazed by the Hamiltonian mechanics.
Effectively, by working with energy rather than force, you can avoid working with vectors. That ends up being simpler as the components add up.
We didn’t really touch fluids though. Does “classical” mean something different there?
