Week 12 - Consequences of Hamilton's Equations [11] [13]

Summary

We have two powerful approximation methods (abiabatic invariants and impulses) that are useful when the typical timescale of the motion and the perturbation are vastly different. We'll also look at Liouville's theorem if we have time. You can find the notes for this week and last on the Wiki.
