canonical transformations in classical electrodynamics
Canonical transformations in classical electrodynamics are mathematical transformations that preserve the equations of motion and the form of Hamilton's equations, while changing the variables used to describe the system. These transformations are used to simplify the analysis of a system by transforming it into a new set of variables that are more convenient or physically meaningful.
