Legendre transformation
ID: legendre-transformation
This is how you transform the Lagrangian into the Hamiltonian.
The Legendre transformation is a mathematical operation used primarily in convex analysis and optimization, as well as in physics, particularly in thermodynamics and mechanics. It allows one to convert a function of one set of variables into a function of another set, changing the viewpoint on how the variables are related.
