Abstract:
In this presentation I shall do a compared study of the four methods used in Analytical Mechanics - Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, Routh's Method and Poisson Brackets - by solving a classic example in Newtonian Mechanics: Kepler's Problem. After a short introduction into the problem itself, we discuss each formalism and consider numerical simulations of well-known orbital systems.
