TERM 1
Hamiltonian
DEFINITION 1
In physics and classical mechanics, a Hamiltonian system is a
physical system in which forces are momentum invariant.
TERM 2
Poisson Brackets
DEFINITION 2
In mathematics and classical mechanics, the Poisson bracket
is an important operator in Hamiltonian mechanics, playing a
central role in the definition of the time-evolution of a
dynamical system in the Hamiltonian formulation.
TERM 3
Superposition
DEFINITION 3
A solution to a differential equation is often a superposition of
various solutions to an nth order differential equation; for
example if you have 3rd order diffeq then you will have a
general solution that is a superposition of three distinct
solutions.
TERM 4
Canonical Quantization
DEFINITION 4
In physics, canonical quantization is one of many procedures
for quantizing a classical theory.
TERM 5
Vector Space
DEFINITION 5
A vector space is a mathematical st ructure formed by a collection
of vectors: objects that may be adde d together and multiplied
("scaled") by numbers, called scalars in this context. In order for a
set tp be a vector space it must hav e closure under all properties
of addition defined for vector spaces, and also all properties of
multiplication for vector spaces.
