Introduction
The proposed course of lectures will cover the parts of classical mechanics that are not included in the standard textbooks and in the courses of theoretical mechanics including:
absolute, relative and conditional integral and tensor invariants, Dirac mechanics, Nambu mechanics, vakonomic mechanics, constrained mechanical systems, nonholonomic mechanics, geometric optimal control theory, forced hybrid mechanical systems, Riemannian and sub Riemannian metrics, geometrical optics.
Students are welcome to suggest other mathematically interesting topics in and around classical mechanics, and I will try to cover these topics in the lectures.
Knowledge of basic topics in classical mechanics, calculus of variations, differential and integral calculus, and tensor analysis is preferred.
