Hamiltonian mechanics
Hamiltonian mechanics is a re-formulation of classical mechanics that was invented in 1833 by William Rowan Hamilton. It arose from Lagrangian mechanics, another re-formulation of classical mechanics, introduced by Joseph Louis Lagrange in 1788. It can however be formulated without recourse to Lagrangian mechanics, using symplectic spaces. See the section on its mathematical formulation for this.
