- Målen och nivån på vissa av föreläsningarna är för högt satta, men nivån på examinationen är lagom. Så om man anpassar målen och nivån på föreläsningarna till examinationens nivå, blir det nog bra.» (To some extent)

- But a bit hard to understand the goals of the course since the mechanical part differed quite much from the rest of the course. The "connecting line" trough out the course was not easily understood.» (Good)
- I have wanted to take a course in analytic mechanics ever since I was disappointed that it was NOT a part of the undergraduate programs mechanics courses.» (Excellent)

14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- The focus on analytical mechanics.»
- All.»
- Most of it, especially the first part about Hamiltons and Lagranges equations»
- The way of explaining the Tensors and Differential forms.»
- OMFÅNGET»

15. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- More focus on how the latter part of the course can be used in analytical mechanics.»
- None.»
- More teaching about the differential forms. Go through the material slower and more discussion about it.»
- When you taught the mechanics of fields and relativistic mechanics, I did not get a clean idea, but maybe it is because my English is not very good. And I think there would be a better way to explain some "action" form.»
- OM PER S SKRIVER UT SINA FÖRELÄSNINGANTECKNINGAR OCH DELAR UT I JÄMN TAKT BLIR DET RIKTIGT BRA»

16. Should specific parts of the course be expanded/compressed/improved/discarded, are they interesting/unnessecary/useful/difficult/...? Please use the codes below in your answer.

L1 Repetition of newtonian mechanics.
L2 From Newton"s equations to Lagrange"s. D"Alemberts principle.
L3 Treatment of constraints. Action for Lorentz" force.
D1 Demonstration of NK 15.20 and TE 36
L4 Variational calculus.
L5 Connection symmetry - conservation law. Principles of Jacobi and Fermat.
L6 Hamilton"s canonical form of action and equations of motion.
D2 Demonstration of variational calculus problems: soap bubble and elastic rod.
L7 Canonical transformations.
L8 Mechanics of fields.
L9 Relativistic mechanics.
L10 Tensor notation.
L11 Differential forms. Stokes" theorem.
L12 Cohomology and homology.
L13 Metric and Hodge dual.
L14 Electromagnetic field action. Dirac"s treatment of constrained systems.
D3 Using differential forms.
L15 Integral invariants and properties of generic motion in mechanics.
L16-17 Goldstones theorem, Higgs phenomenon, solitons.

- L15-17 was quite fuzzy and confusing, could use more time to cover that material. »
- L13 is interesting and useful and it should be expanded.»
- It wold be nice to expand D3, maybe one more exercise »
- Don"t know yet what I need in the future, but all was very interesting. More connections to the course s in quantum theory and gravitation and cosmology would be appreciated.»
- I don"t think anything should be removed.»
- L15 och andra delen av L14 kan vi ju skippa..»
- L9 OCH L16-17»

17. Additional comments

- None.»
- You are a very good teacher, with great patience, thanks.»
- Per är bra föreläsare om man redan kan ämnet. Han verkar rädd för att säga "självklara" saker, det bör han ändra på.»
- ATT LÄSA DENNA KURSEN FÖRE ÖSTLUNDS KVANTFYSIK SOM NU JAG VAR TVUNGEN ATT GÖRA AV BARNVAKTSSKÄL FÖRSTÅR JAG NU ÄR EN STOR FÖRDEL»
