Calculus of Variations

This is not your average Udemy course. You will not see the calculus of variations taught as thoroughly and intuitively anywhere on the internet (I know because I looked for such a course and not having found one decided to create this course). You will not see this subject taught in this way anywhere else online.

The most important point and value in this course is COMPREHENSION. I want you to understand the subject , I want you to be able to say at the end of this course, 'I OWN THE CALCULUS OF VARIATIONS - IT BELONGS TO ME'. If you want to understand the calculus of variations as opposed to just applying some random maths equations and wonder what is going on then this is the course for you.

What matters is true comprehension. As such I have introduced this subject in a non standard way. I derive the basic building block of calculus of variations namely the Euler-Lagrange equation in the terms that Euler first derived it and leave the standard derivation to much later in the course.

The course has many examples including some of the most famous but also some that you just won't see in any textbook. The derivations are thorough and explained line per line equation to equation. You just won't get this subject taught like this unless you pay to go to university (and even then you will probably get the standard formulaic version).
