Mathematical Methods in Classical and Quantum Mechanics
Liouville's Theorem states that in Hamiltonian mechanics, the phase space volume is conserved over time for a system of particles. This means that the flow of trajectories in phase space does not change, highlighting the underlying structure of dynamical systems and their evolution over time. It connects the conservation laws in physics with the behavior of dynamical systems, ensuring that the density of states remains constant during the motion of the system.
congrats on reading the definition of Liouville's Theorem. now let's actually learn it.
