What is another word for hamiltonian mechanics?
Pronunciation: [hˌamɪltˈə͡ʊni͡ən mɪkˈanɪks] (IPA) 
Hamiltonian mechanics is a term often used in physics and mathematics to describe a particular approach to the study of classical mechanics. It is based on the use of a mathematical object known as the Hamiltonian, which describes the total energy of a system in terms of the positions and momenta of its constituent particles. Synonyms for Hamiltonian mechanics might include the Hamiltonian formalism, Hamiltonian dynamics, or simply Hamiltonian theory. Other related terms might include Lagrangian mechanics, which is based on a different mathematical formalism but can be equivalent to Hamiltonian mechanics in certain cases, or canonical mechanics, which refers to a broader set of mathematical methods used in the study of classical systems.
