Analogous to what the <Euler-Lagrange equation> is to <Lagrangian mechanics>, Hamilton's equations give the <equations of motion> from a given input <Hamiltonian>:
$$
\frac{\partial H}{\partial q_j} = -\dot{p}_j \\
\frac{\partial H}{\partial p_j} =  \dot{q}_j
$$
So once you have the Hamiltonian, you can write down this system of <partial differential equations> which can then be numerically solved.

It is fun to see that C and G have been confused since antiquity:
* the modern sound is <G>
* in terms of modern letters, both <C> and <G> split from <gamma>

This is apparently the most important <III-V semiconductor>, it seems to actually have some applications, see also: <gallium arsenide vs silicon>.
