Classical Mechanics Lectures 09 MSc Physics online classes Today, we will learn how the principle of minimization and maximization can be observed around us in daily life. Then, we recall that similar principles exist in thermodynamics, and finally, we understand Hamilton's principle. This is the starting point for the CSIR NET physics exam on Lagrangian mechanics.
