No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1976–77 to 1977–78; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Euler-Lagrange equaitons for constrained and unconstrained single and double integral variational problems. Parameter-invariant single integrals. General variational formula. The canonical formalism. Hilbert’s independent integral. Hamilton-Jacobi equation and the Caratheodory complete figure. Fields and the Legendre and Weierstrass sufficient conditions.
As printed in the 1976–77 to 1977–78 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
