On the Derivation of Conserved Quantities in Classical Mechanics

Classical Physics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

Using a theorem of partial differential equations, we present a general way of deriving the conserved quantities associated with a given classical point mechanical system, denoted by its Hamiltonian. Some simple examples are given to demonstrate the validity of the formulation.
