Hello friends.. I need help from professional Mathematicians/Physicists.. I'm a final year Physics student writing my project on HAMILTON'S PRINCIPLE which is alternatively called the ACTION PRINCIPLE.. Problem is that proper understanding of this concept requires that one be grounded in and make proper use of techniques of the Calculus of Variations.. This course has not been taught in my School and we're expected to defend our projects on the first week of second semester which is almost around the corner.. Please I need some help on materials and sources that can explain the topic from scratch.. I've searched everywhere on the internet and have even watched some videos on YouTube but none of them has been of help so far.. Thank you.

Who would give you variation of calculus for your BSC project. That's a though one.
That was part of my one of my lecturer's PhD thesis.
Anyway. I did a self taught on it using KH Dass, advanced Mathematics. It was helpful in understanding the maths but generally principle.

It's been a while I opened it but my maths is not bad!
